 Section 104. Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee for the appropriate series of the Securities and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee for the appropriate series of the Securities
and the Company and any agent of such Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed for such purpose, the Holders on such record date or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite
percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is ninety (90) days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership, or an official of a public or governmental body, on behalf of such corporation, association, partnership or public or governmental body or by a fiduciary, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 
 (c) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of
any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee for the appropriate series of the Securities deems reasonably sufficient and in accordance with such
reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine. 
 (d) The principal amount and serial numbers of the Securities held by any Person, and the
date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 (e) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default; (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502; (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2); or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to the Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the-requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of the Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

  
 14 

 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets
such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration
Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of the Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 10th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right
to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 80th day after the applicable record date. 

(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee for such
Securities, the Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and the Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with such Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration Re: The Clorox Company, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to a facsimile number
provided by the Trustee, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Trustee addressed to it as provided above, or 

  

	 	(2)	 the Company by such Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as
provided in paragraph (3) of Section 501) if furnished in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, addressed in the case of the Company to it, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, at the address of its principal office
specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by the Company, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to a facsimile number provided to the Trustee by the Company, with a
copy mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it as provided above. 

 The Trustee may accept and
act upon facsimile transmission of written instructions and/or directions pursuant to this Indenture given by the Company, provided, however that: (1) the Company, subsequent to such facsimile transmission of written instructions and/or
directions, shall provide the originally executed instructions and/or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner and (2) such originally executed instructions and/or directions shall be signed by an authorized Officer of the Company. 

All notices, approvals, consents, requests and any communications hereunder must be in writing (provided that any such communication sent to
Trustee hereunder must be in the form of a document that is signed manually or by way of a digital signature provided by DocuSign or other electronic signature provider that the Company plans to use (or such other digital signature provider as

 Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) to Holders of the Securities if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than
the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 In any case where notice to Holders of the Securities is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of the Securities given as provided herein. Any notice
mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be conclusively deemed to have been given whether or not received by any particular Holder. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall
be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of the Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the reasonable approval of the Trustee for such Securities shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive
such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Identifying Numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identifying numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the Identifying Numbers of which it becomes aware. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

 The terms of such Securities, as set forth
above, may be determined by the Company from time to time if so provided in or established pursuant to the authority granted in Board Resolutions or an Officers’ Certificate. All of the Securities of any one series need not be issued at the
same time, and unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuance of additional Securities of such series. 
 Prior to the
delivery of a Security of any series in any such form to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, the Company shall deliver to such Trustee the following: 

 

	 	(1)	 The Board Resolutions or Officers’ Certificate of the Company by or pursuant to which such form of the
Security have been approved and, if applicable, the supplemental indenture by or pursuant to which such form of the Security has been approved; and 

  

	 	(2)	 An Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated the date such Certificate is delivered to such Trustee
satisfying the requirements of Sections 102 and 103, and stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of the Securities in such forms have been complied with. 

  
 21 

 Section 302. Denominations. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to any series of the Securities as contemplated by Section 301, any Securities of a series other
than the Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be any one of manual, facsimile or electronic (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign and other similar
applications). 
 The Securities bearing the manual, facsimile or electronic (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign and
other similar applications) signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication
and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this indenture, the Company may deliver the Securities of any series, executed by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and such Trustee, in accordance with the Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and
Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security shall be deemed to have been delivered in connection with the original
issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. If all the Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one time and if a Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate relating to such Securities shall
so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures, acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities, including, without limitation, procedures with respect to interest rate, Stated Maturity, date of issuance and date from which
interest, if any, shall accrue. 
 If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions or Officers’ Certificates as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
  

	 	(1)	 If the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or
Officers’ Certificates as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

  

	 	(2)	 if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or
Officers’ Certificates as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

  

	 	(3)	 that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

  
 22 

 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 102 and 301 at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

Except as specified pursuant to Section 301, each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein manually executed by the Trustee for such Security or on its behalf pursuant to Section 614, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be,
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities. 

Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at
all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

Section 304. Temporary Securities and Exchange of Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee for the
Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner specified in Section 303, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, with like terms and
conditions as the definitive Securities of like series in lieu of which they are issued in registered form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein. 

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged only in accordance with the provisions of the following
paragraphs or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or a Supplemental Indenture), if temporary Securities of any particular series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and
provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities
of any particular series, the Company shall execute and (in accordance with a Company Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Security of such series) the Trustee for the Securities of such series or such global
exchange agent as may be appointed by the Company as necessary (the “Global Exchange Agent”) shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of the definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same
series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions. Until exchanged as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the definitive
Securities of the same series and with like terms and conditions, except as to payment of interest, if any, authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

  
 23 

 Any temporary Global Security and any permanent Global Security shall, unless otherwise
provided therein, be delivered to a Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301. 
 Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a
register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the
Securities and of transfers of the Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering the Securities and transfers of the Securities of such series as
herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any particular series at the office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any
authorized denomination, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions. 

Except as set forth below, at the option of the Holder, the Securities of any particular series may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of alike series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 304, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of
a series in registered form notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under
Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities for such series. If (i) a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility; (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee for the Securities of such series in registered form a Company Order stating that the Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable; or (iii) an Event of Default under Section 501 hereof has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 301 shall no longer be effective with
respect to the Securities for such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of the definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of
such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or the Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or the Securities. 

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or the Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of the definitive Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, the Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or the Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global
Security or the Securities. 

  
 24 

 If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of the
Securities in registered form, the Depositary for such series of the Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of the Securities in exchange in whole or in part for the Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in
definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver; without service charge, (i) to each
Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s
beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for the Securities in
definitive form representing the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. The Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities
to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 All of the Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of the Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee for such
Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for such series duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Securities of any series during a period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305, the Company will not be required to exchange any Securities if, as
a result of the exchange, the Company would suffer adverse consequences under any United States law or regulation. 
 Section 306. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for such Security or the
Company and the Trustee for a Security receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security; and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and such Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or such Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide or protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its request
such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for such mutilated Security, a new Security of the same series, in a like principal amount, of a like Stated Maturity, with like terms
and conditions, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding appertaining to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security. 

  
 25 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and
the Trustee for such Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and such Trustee and any agent of any of them of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including all fees and expenses of, the Trustee for such Security) connected therewith.

 Every new Security of any series, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for
any mutilated Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of the Securities, interest on any Security which is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest payment in respect of the Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise provided in the Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security shall be paid
to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board
Resolution or Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 201 with respect to the related series of the Securities. 
 Unless
otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or, at the option of the Company in the case of the Securities, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series in definitive form, whether having identical or
different terms and provisions, having the same Interest Payment Dates will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Securities of such
series shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. 
 Any interest on any Security of any particular series which is payable but is
not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of
that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee
for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of that series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of
money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to 

  
 26 

	 	
Section 301 for the Securities of such series), equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to such
Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment,. such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify such Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company given at least five (5) Business Days before such notice is to be sent, unless the Company consents
to a shorter period), shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest, which notice shall be prepared by the Company and shall be acceptable to the Trustee, and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Holder of the Securities of that series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

  

	 	(2)	 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any particular series in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of the series in respect of which interest is in default, may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice is given by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee for such Security and any agent of the Company
or such Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, such Trustee or any agent of the Company or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 309. Cancellation. 
 All of
the Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee for such the Securities, be delivered to
such Trustee and, in the case of the Securities, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of a series for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all of the Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by such Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in the case of a series, all the
Securities of which are not to be originally issued at one time, a Security of such series shall not be deemed to have been Outstanding at any time hereunder if and to the extent that, subsequent to the authentication and delivery thereof, such
Security is delivered to the Trustee for such Security for cancellation by the Company or any agent thereof upon the failure of the original purchaser thereof to make payment therefor against delivery thereof, and any Security so delivered to such
Trustee 

  
 27 

 
shall be promptly cancelled by it. None of the Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee for such Securities shall be disposed of by such Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of the Securities shall
be provided to the Company by such Trustee upon request; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such cancelled Securities. Permanent Global Securities shall not be disposed of until exchanged in full for
the definitive Securities or until payment thereon is made in full.

ARTICLE 4 

Satisfaction and Discharge 

Section 401. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at its option evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Securities
of any series, elect to have either Section 402 and/or 403 be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Four. 

Section 402. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 402, the Company shall be deemed to have
been discharged from its obligations with respect to all of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series on the date the conditions set forth below in Section 404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the Outstanding Securities of that series and the Securities of that series shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 406, Section 408 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this Section 402, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and
this Indenture and cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging the same), except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities of the particular series, if any, to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due or on the Redemption Date solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture; (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities concerning issuing
temporary Securities of that series, or, where relevant, registration of such Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of that series and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for the Securities payments
held in trust; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for the Securities of that series, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and with respect to the Company’s obligations to the Trustee
under Section 607; and (d) this Article Four and the obligations set forth in Section 406 hereof. 
 Subject to compliance
with this Article Four, the Company may exercise its option under Section 402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 403 with respect to the Securities of a particular series. Following such defeasance, payment of
such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

 Section 403. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403, the Company shall be released from
any obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 801, 1004, 1007, 1008 and 1009 hereof (and any other covenant in addition to those set forth herein applicable to the Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301 hereof specified to
be released as provided under this Section 403) with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the particular series, along with any additional covenants contained in such Security or any supplemental indenture in connection therewith, on and
after the date the conditions set forth below in Section 404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that series shall thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and
shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or Event of Default under subsection 503(3) but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities
of that series shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 404. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 402 or Section 403 to the Outstanding Securities of a
particular series: 
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee for the Securities of
that series, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of that series), Government Obligations, or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, due on the outstanding Securities of that series at the Stated Maturity, or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that series; 

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel

been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the Same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding
Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(4) or Section 501(5) shall
have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after such date; 

  
 29 

 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; and 

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
in the United States (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have
been complied with. 
 Section 405. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture will, upon Company Request, be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all of the Securities of any particular
series issued hereunder when either (i) all of the Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except (A) lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and

(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series), Government Obligations, or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series for cancellation for principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; (B) the
Company has paid, or caused to be paid, all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and (C) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee for the Securities of that series under this Indenture to apply the deposited money

stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Section 406. Survival of Certain Obligations. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Securities of a particular series referred to in Sections 401,
402, 404, or 405, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series under Sections 303, 304, 305, 309, 407, 408, 409, 410, and 508, Article Six, and Sections 701, 702, 1002, 1003, 1004 and 1006 shall
survive with respect to the Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series with respect to that series
under Sections 407, 408, 409, and 410 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article Four shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee of any series of the Securities under this Indenture.

 Section 408. Application of Trust Moneys. 

All money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series pursuant to Section 404 or 405
in respect of the Securities of that series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of the Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 404 or 405 with respect to the Securities of that series or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by
law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of that series. 
 Section 409. Repayment to the Company; Unclaimed Money.

 The Trustee and any Paying Agent for a series of the Securities shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Order any cash
or Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series for which cash or Government Obligations have been deposited
pursuant to Section 404 or 405. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, or then
held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security of any particular series and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trusts; and the Holder of such Security shall, thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that such Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment may give written notice to the Holder of such Security in
the manner set forth in Section 106, that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will,
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company, as the case may be. 

Section 410. Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent for a series of the Securities is unable to apply any cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, in accordance with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent for that series is permitted to apply all such cash or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405; provided,
however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, held by such Trustee or Paying Agent.

they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of such action. 

 Section 502. Acceleration of
Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 lf an Event of Default with respect to any particular series of the Securities occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) with respect to the Company), then and in every such case either the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the entire principal amount of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and
upon any such declaration of acceleration of such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. 

  
 32 

 If any Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to
the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest on all of the Securities of each series then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any
Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of any series as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and such Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Company has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency or currency unit in
which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series): 

(i) all overdue interest on all the Securities of that series; 

(ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date such principal became due at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Securities of such series, to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable; 

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest Upon overdue interest at a rate per annum equal to the
rate borne by the Securities of such series; and 
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607; 

and 
  

	 	(2)	 all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal
of the Securities of that series which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

The Company covenants that if: 
  

	 	(1)	 default is made in the payment of any interest upon any Security of any series when such interest becomes due
and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days; or 

  

	 	(2)	 default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its
Maturity; the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium if
any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate
borne by such Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover, the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents
and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607. 

 If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding against the Company for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities of such series, wherever situated. 

  
 33 

 If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any particular series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of that series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee for the Securities of such series (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Security of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue
principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (i) to file and
prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607) and of the Holders of the
Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of the
Securities to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of the Securities, to pay to such Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under Section 607. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions. 

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee for the
Securities of any series without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by such Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 506. Application of
Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee for the Securities of any series pursuant to this Article with respect to the
Securities of such series shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the
Securities, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on

interest, if any, respectively; and 
 Third: The balance, if any, to the Company. 

Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any particular series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  

	 	(1)	 an Event of Default with respect to that series shall have occurred and be continuing, and such Holder shall
have previously given written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series (other than with respect to an Event of Default referred to in Sections 501(4) and (5)) of such default and the continuance thereof; 

 

	 	(2)	 the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have
made written request to the Trustee for the Securities of such series to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

 

	 	(3)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to such Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

  

	 	(4)	 such Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has
failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

  

	 	(5)	 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to such Trustee during such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of the Securities of that series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the Securities of that series, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal
and ratable benefit of all the Holders of the Securities of that series. 
 Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to
Receive Principal (and Premium, if any) and Interest, if any. 
 Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security of any series shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such
Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder. 
 Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, such Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of such Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 

  
 35 

 Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders of the Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 511. Delay or Omission
Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee for the Securities of any series or of any Holder of any Security of such series to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and
remedy given by this Article or by law to such Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 512. Control by Holders.

direction;

 Section 614. Authenticating Agents. 

At any time when any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may, subject to its
sole discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in
the authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305 and 1107 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by
those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant
to this Section shall be deemed lobe authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority. If
such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent for any series of the Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent
hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. 

Any Authenticating Agent for any series of the Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for
such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of the Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set
forth in Section 105. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent for any series of the Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee for such
series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Securities of such series in the manner set forth in
Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to
pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

Redemption of Securities 

Section 1101. Applicability of This Article. 

Redemption of the Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of
Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this
Article, the provision of such form of Security shall govern.  
 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any particular series, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee for the Securities of such series) notify such Trustee in writing by Company Request of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of the Securities of that series to be redeemed and provide the additional information required to be
included in the notice or notices contemplated by Section 1104 and shall deliver to such Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable such Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1103. In the case of

series with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, from the Outstanding
Securities of that series not previously called for redemption, by such method as such Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the
Securities of that series, or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of the Securities of that series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 302 in
the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are denominated. 
 The Trustee for the Securities of any series to be
redeemed shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of the Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

  
 56 

 Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 1103, the selection of the
Securities, or portions thereof, that are represented by a Global Security or that are held by or on behalf of a Depositary, in the case of any partial redemption, shall also be made in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of such
Depositary and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any liability or responsibility with respect thereto. 

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 not later than the tenth (10th) day and not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed with a copy to

on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

 

	 	(5)	 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion
thereof, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 

  

	 	(6)	 the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest, if any, 

  

	 	(7)	 that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, 

 

	 	(8)	 the name and address of the Paying Agent, 

 

	 	(9)	 that the Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price, 

  

	 	(10)	 CUSIP numbers, if any, 

 

	 	(11)	 that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP numbers listed in such notice or
printed on the Securities, and

 Notice of redemption of the Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or,
at the Company’s request delivered to the Trustee at least 5 days before such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), by the Trustee for such Securities in the name and at the expense of the Company.

 Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be set forth in the
related notice of redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering or financing or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent,
such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (provided, however, that any redemption date shall not be less than 10
days and no more than 60 days after the date of the notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have
been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. 

  
 57 

 If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written
notice to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes prior to the close of business one Business Day prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the Notes shall
be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon request of the Company not less than three Business Days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall provide such notice
to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 
 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee for the Securities to be redeemed or with
a Paying Agent for such Securities (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent for such Securities, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities
of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such Series) sufficient to pay the principal amount of (and premium, if any, thereon), and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1106. Securities Payable on
Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security or
specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest on the Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof (and premium, if
any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Security. 
 Section 1107.
Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with,
if the Company or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and the Security Registrar for such Security duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder, of the same series and having the same terms and provisions and in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; provided, however, that
if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.  

Section 1108. Optional Redemption 

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 hereof, except as set forth in clause (b) of this Section 1108, the
Securities shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option. 

  
 58 

 Any redemption pursuant to this Section 1108 shall be made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 1101 through 1107 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 12 

Sinking Funds 
 Section 1201.
Applicability of This Article. 
 Redemption of the Securities through operation of a sinking fund as permitted or required by any
form of the Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of the Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of the Security shall conflict with any
provision of this Article, the provision of such form of the Security shall govern.  
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any particular series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any
particular series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of the Securities of any particular series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of the Securities of any particular series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of that series. 

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (1) may deliver the Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption), and (2) may
apply as a credit the Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series;
provided, however, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee for such Securities at the principal amount thereof and the amount of such
sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than sixty (60) days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any particular series of the Securities, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of that series) and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and shall state the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited and will also deliver to such
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of
and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

 (Form of Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued under an
Indenture, dated as of _____, _____ (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto 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. 

[Insert or revise redemption provisions as appropriate: The Securities are subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity upon not
less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail or electronic transmission, as a whole or from time to time, in part, at the election of the Company, [add redemption provisions, if any]] 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of the Securities will have the right to require the Company to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer provided for in the Indenture at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice setting
forth the procedures governing such Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 In the event of redemption or repurchase of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification or waiver of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
at the time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, to
waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder affected) under the Indenture
and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and
subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless
such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding shall have
made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

  
 64 

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like

Exhibit 10.2
TRINSEO EUROPE GMBH
​
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
​
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 1, 2021, is among Trinseo Europe GmbH, a Swiss limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschrӓnkter Haftung) (the “Company”), and Francesca Reverberi of Bremgartnerstrasse 15, 8003 Zurich, Switzerland (the “Executive”); which amends and restates the previous employment agreement entered into between the parties.
​
W I T N E S S E T H
​
WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive as Senior Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer and Synthetic Rubber of the Company and to pay all of the Executive’s compensation and other benefits described in this Agreement; and
​
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to update the terms and conditions of such employment by entering into this Agreement which shall define the terms of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
​
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises con­tained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
​
1.POSITION AND DUTIES.
(a)During the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 hereof), the Executive shall serve as Senior Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer and Synthetic Rubber of the Company and its ultimate parent company, Trinseo S.A. (“Parent”).  In this capacity, the Executive shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized companies, and such other executive duties, authorities and responsibilities as may reasonably be assigned to the Executive that are not inconsistent with the Executive’s position as Senior Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer and Synthetic Rubber of the Company and the Parent.  The Executive’s principal place of employment with the Company shall be in Horgen, Switzerland, or such other location in Switzerland within 75 kilometers from Horgen as the Company may designate. However, the Executive is aware and accepts that he/she will be required to travel frequently for business purposes. The Executive shall report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer or a named executive officer of the Parent.
(b)During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote all of the Executive’s business time, energy, business judgment, knowledge and skill and the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to the performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company and the Parent, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations and, with the prior written approval of the Board of the Parent (the 

	​
	1
	​

​

​

“Board”), other for profit companies, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing the Executive’s passive personal investments so long as such activities in the aggregate do not violate Section 10 hereof, interfere or conflict with the Executive’s duties hereunder or create a business or fiduciary conflict. Any overtime worked by the Executive is fully compensated by the Base Salary (as defined in Section 3).

2.EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Company agrees to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement commencing on the date written above (the “Effective Date”). Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving six months' advance written notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, subject to Section 7 hereof. The period of time between the Effective Date and the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” No trial period shall apply to the employment.  This Agreement may be conditioned on any, or all of, the Executive: (i) passing a background check; (ii) passing a screening for illegal and controlled substances; and (iii) confirming employment eligibility; and (iv) providing the Company with the results of a recent physical examination or other evidence showing the absence of any conditions that would preclude the Executive from fulfilling the obligations contemplated in this Agreement.
3.BASE SALARY. During the Employment Term, the Company agrees to pay the Executive an annual base salary of not less than 450,000 CHF (Swiss francs) gross per annum, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, but not less frequently than monthly. The Executive’s base salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board (or a committee thereof) during the first ninety (90) days of each calendar year, and the base salary in respect of such calendar year may be increased above, but not decreased below, its level for the preceding calendar year, by the Board. The base salary as determined herein and adjusted from time to time shall constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.
4.ANNUAL BONUS. 
(a)During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible for an annual discretionary cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) in respect of each calendar year that ends during the Employment Term, to the extent earned based on performance against objective performance criteria. The performance criteria for any particular calendar year shall be determined in good faith by the Board, no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of such calendar year. The Executive’s targeted Annual Bonus for a calendar year shall equal 50% of the Executive’s Base Salary for such calendar year (the “Target Bonus”) if target levels of performance for such year are achieved, with greater or lesser amounts (including zero) paid for performance above and below target (such greater and lesser amounts to be determined by a formula established by the Board for such year when it establishes the targets and performance criteria for such year); provided that the Executive’s maximum Annual Bonus for any calendar year during the Employment Term shall equal 200% of the Target Bonus for such calendar year. 
(b)The Executive’s Annual Bonus for a calendar year shall be determined by, and is subject to the discretion of, the Board after the end of the applicable calendar year based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria, and shall be paid to the Executive in 

	​
	2
	​

​

​

the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates at the same time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, subject to continued employment at the time of payment (except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof).

5.EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

(a)BENEFIT PLANS. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plan that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to and which benefit any of the senior executives of the Company, on a basis no less favorable than that applicable to any such senior executives, subject to satisfying the applicable eligibility requirements, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of the benefits otherwise provided hereunder. The Executive’s participation in any such employee benefit plan shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may modify or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time, if and to the extent allowed pursuant to the terms of such plan, provided that any such amendment may have no more adverse effect on the Executive than on any other participant in such plan.  The Company may provide perquisites to the Executive at the discretion of the Board.
(b)VACATIONS. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s policy on accrual and use applicable to employees as in effect from time to time, currently calculated as twenty-seven (27) days annually for the Executive.
(c)BUSINESS EXPENSES. Upon presentation of reasonable substantiation and documentation as the Company may specify from time to time, the Executive shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time, for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred and paid by the Executive during the Employment Term and in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder.

6.TERMINATION. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, the Executive’s employment and the Employment Term shall terminate on the first of the following to occur:
(a)DEATH. Automatically upon the date of death of the Executive.
(b)CAUSE. Immediately upon written notice by the Company to the Executive of a termination for cause ("wichtiger Grund") as provided for in Swiss employment law ("Cause").  For the sake of clarity, to the extent not already provided for in Swiss law, Cause shall also include the following behaviors: (i) continued failure to follow the lawful and reasonable directives of the Board after written notice from the Board and a period of no less than thirty (30) days to cure such failure; (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Executive’s duties; (iii) conviction of, or pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, a non-vehicular felony; (iv) material violation of a material written Company or Parent policy that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice from the Board; (v) performance of any material act of theft, embezzlement, fraud or misappropriation of or in respect of the Company’s property; (vi) continued failure to cooperate in any audit or investigation of financial or business practices of the Company or Parent after written request for cooperation from the Board and a period of no less than ten (10) days to cure such failure; (vii) commission of any criminal act or other act involving moral turpitude, sexual 

	​
	3
	​

​

​

harassment or drug violations (after an independent investigation concludes that such acts occurred and Executive has been presented with opportunity to participate in the investigation); (viii) commission of any willful act which brings public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or which shocks or offends the community or any group or class thereof, or which reflects unfavorably upon Company or Parent and, as a result of such act or involvement, reduces the commercial value of Company's or Parent’s association with Executive; (ix) willful actions (other than legal action or arbitration arising out of this Agreement) or making or authorizing statements in derogation of Company or Parent or their products and such actions or statements become public during the Term that result in damage to the business of the Company; or (x) breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 10 hereof or in any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company and/or its Affiliate that causes material and demonstrable harm to the Company or Parent and that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice from the Board.

For purposes of this Section 6(b), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. 
7.CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.
(a)DEATH. In the event that the Executive’s employment and the Employment Term ends on account of the Executive’s death, the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the following (with the amounts due under Sections 7(a)(i) through 7(a)(v) hereof to be paid, unless otherwise provided below, within sixty (60) days following termination of employment, or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law):
(i)any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination;
(ii)any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the calendar year end­ing on or preceding the date of termination;
(iii)an amount equal to the pro-rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the calendar year of termination (determined by multiplying the Target Bonus for the year of termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the calendar year of termination that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365);
(iv)reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination;
(v)payment in respect of any accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with Company policy; 
(vi)all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which the Executive shall be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement (collectively, Sections 7(a)(i) through 7(a)(vi) hereof shall be hereafter referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”) and

	​

	​

​

​

(vii)if the Executive is survived by a spouse, a registered partner, children who are minors or, in the absence of such heirs, other persons to whom he/she had a duty to provide support, the Base Salary for one month or, if the Executive had completed more than five years of service, for two months;

(b)TERMINATION FOR CAUSE BY THE COMPANY; TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE. If the Executive’s employment is terminated (x) by the Company for Cause or (y) by the Executive for whatsoever reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Benefits; except for Section 7(a) (iii).  If the Executive terminates the Agreement, then the Company may elect to: (i) accelerate the Executive’s termination date which shall not be considered a termination by the Company without Cause; and (ii) transition Executive’s duties and responsibilities to others during the notice period.  However, in the event that the Executive terminates the Agreement and the Company elects to accelerate the Executive’s termination date, then the Executive will continue to receive Base Salary through the expiration of the notice period. 
(c)TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay or provide the Executive with the following, subject to the provisions of Section 24 hereof:
(i)the Accrued Benefits;
(ii)subject to the Executive’s not engaging in a Material Covenant Violation as defined hereinafter or any other breach of Section 10 hereof that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of written notice from the Board (a “Material Cooperation Violation”), the Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to one of the following (the applicable amount determined below to be referred to herein as the “Severance Amount”):

an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) multiplied by the sum of the Executive’s then current annual Base Salary and Target Bonus for the year of termination, paid in equal monthly installments for a period of eighteen (18) months following such termination. Payments and benefits provided in this Section 7(c) shall be offset by Base Salary payments made during (i) any notice period as defined in Section 2 where the Executive has been relieved of responsibilities, and (ii) any monthly extension that corresponds to the number of months by which the notice period is extended based art. 336c CO, provided that the aggregate severance benefits payable hereunder shall be no less than as required by applicable law.
​
A “Material Covenant Violation” shall mean a breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 10 hereof or in any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company and/or any of the Company’s or Parent’s direct or indirectly controlled subsidiaries (each an “Affiliate”) that causes material and demonstrable harm to the Company and/or any Affiliate.
(d)CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(i)This Section 7(d) shall apply if the Executive’s employment by the Com­pany is terminated (x) by the Company other than for Cause, or (y) by the Executive for good reason as defined in art. 340c para 2 CO, in either case, during the two (2)-year period commencing 

	​

​

​

upon a Change in Control. Subject to the Executive’s not engaging in a Material Covenant Violation or a Material Cooperation Violation, upon a termination described in the preceding sentence, the Executive shall receive the benefits set forth in Section 7(c) hereof, except that in lieu of receiving the Severance Amount in installments as contemplated under Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, the Executive shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the Severance Amount on the date of such termination.
(ii)For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation off the first transaction following the Effective Date, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, in which any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (A) acquires (whether by merger, consolidation, or transfer or issuance of equity interests or otherwise) equity interests of the Parent (or any surviving or resulting entity) representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities or economic value of the Parent (or any surviving or resulting entity), or (B) acquires assets constituting all or substantially all (more than eighty percent (80%)) of the assets of the Parent and its subsidiaries (as determined on a consolidated basis).

8.OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and at any time before at the request of the Board, the Executive shall promptly resign from any other position as an officer, director or fiduciary of the Company, Parent and any Affiliate.
9.RELEASE; NO MITIGATION; NO SET-OFF. Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Accrued Benefits shall only be payable if the Executive signs and delivers to the Company a general release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto not earlier than 1 month and 1 day, but not later than 60 days after his employment has ended and does not revoke such General Release. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by a subsequent employer. The Company’s obligations to pay the Executive amounts hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by the Executive to the Company or any Affiliates.
10.RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
(a)CONFIDENTIALITY. During the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will learn confidential information regarding the Company. The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Executive’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either during the period of the Executive’s employment or at any time thereafter, any business and technical information or trade secrets, nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any Affiliate, or received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s or any Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited 

	​
	6
	​

​

​

purposes, in each case which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive; or (iii) the Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). The Executive shall keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement strictly confidential, and the Executive hereby agrees not to disclose the terms and conditions hereof to any person or entity, other than immediate family members, legal advisors or personal tax or financial advisors, or prospective future employers solely for the purpose of disclosing the limitations on the Executive’s conduct imposed by the provisions of this Section 10 who, in each case, shall be instructed by the Executive to keep such information confidential.
(b)NONCOMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that the Executive’s performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company. Accordingly, during the Executive’s employment hereunder and for a period of twenty-four (24) months (this period referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”), the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in competition with any material business of the Company or any Affiliate or in any other material business in which the Company or any Affiliate has taken material steps and has material plans, on or prior to the date or termination, to be engaged in on or after such date, in any locale of any country in which the Company or any Affiliate conducts business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the equity securities of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a business that is in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(c)NONSOLICITATION; NONINTERFERENCE. During the Executive’s em­ployment with the Company and for the Restricted Period, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, except in the furtherance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, (i) solicit, aid or induce any customer of the Company or an Affiliate to purchase goods or services then sold by the Company or any Affiliate from another person, firm, corporation or other entity or assist or aid any other persons or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, (ii) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company or any Affiliate to leave such employment or retention or, in the case of employees, to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or any Affiliate, or hire or retain any such employee, or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee, or (iii) interfere, or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and any of their respective vendors, joint ventures or licensors. An employee, representative or agent shall be deemed covered by this Section 10(c) while so 

	​
	7
	​

​

​

employed or retained and for a period of six (6) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10(c) shall not be violated by general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at Company or Affiliate-related individuals or entities.
(d)INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. (i) The rights to inventions and de­signs made or conceived by the Executive individually or jointly while performing his employment activity and in performance of his contractual duties belong to the Company regardless of whether they are legally protected.
(ii) The rights to inventions and designs, made or conceived by the Executive while performing his employment activity, but not during the performance of his contractual duties, shall be assigned by the Executive to the Company as of their inception, regardless of whether they are legally protected. The Executive is obliged to inform the Company in writing of any such inventions or designs. The Company is entitled to grant the rights to these inventions and designs to the Executive. Should the Company retain such rights the Executive will be enti­tled to a special reasonable compensation.
(iii)Other rights to any work products and any know-how, which the Execu­tive creates or in which creation he participates while performing his employment activity belong exclusively to the Company. To the extent that work products (e.g., software, reports, documen­tations) are protected by copyrights, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company any and all rights related to such work products, particularly the copyright and any and all rights of use, in­cluding the rights of production and duplication, of publishing, to use, to license or to sell, to distribute over data or online media, to modify and develop further as well to develop new products on the basis of the work product of the Executive or on the basis of parts of such work product.

(e)RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Executive’s termina­tion of employment with the Company for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company’s request), the Executive shall return all property belonging to the Company or any Af­filiate (including, but not limited to, any Company-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company). Any retention right is excluded. 
(f)REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Execu­tive gives the Company assurance that the Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 10. The Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and the Company and any Affiliate’s trade secrets and confidential information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not pre­vent the Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by the restraints. The Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its Affiliates and that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. It is also agreed that the Affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the Executive’s obligations to such Affiliates under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 10.

​

​

(g)REFORMATION. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 10 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.
(h)SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in Sections 10 and 11 hereof shall survive the termination or expiration of the Employment Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

11.COOPERATION. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (in­cluding through outside counsel), the Executive agrees that while employed by the Company and thereafter (to the extent it does not materially interfere with the Executive’s employment or other business activities after employment by the Company), the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Exec­utive’s employment with the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company, the Affiliates and their respective representatives in defense of all claims that may be made against the Company or the Affiliates, and will assist the Company and the Affiliates in the prosecution of all claims that may be made by the Company or the Affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company. The Executive also agrees to promptly inform the Board (to the extent that the Executive is legally permitted to do so) if the Executive is asked to assist in any investigation of the Company or the Affiliates (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has then been filed against the Company or Affiliates with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel, duplicating, telephonic, counsel and other expenses incurred by the Executive in complying with this Section 11.
12.EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. The Executive acknowl­edges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 10 hereof or Section 11 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance (Realerfüllung), a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. In the event of a Material Covenant Violation or a Material Cooperation Violation by the Executive, any severance being paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. In case of a breach by the Executive of any of the cove­nants contained in Section 10 or Section 11 hereof (i) any Severance Amount payable by the Com­pany, if any, shall be forfeited and (ii) the Executive shall pay to the Company a contractual penalty in an amount equal to (i) the Executive's last annual Base Salary for each individual breach of Sections 10(a), 10(b) and 10(c)(i), (ii) one twelfth (1/12th) of the Executive’s last annual Base salary for each individual breach of Sections 10(c)(ii), 10(c)(iii) and 11 and CHF 10,000 for each individual breach of Sections 10(e). In addition, the Executive shall have to compensate the Company for any damages and financial losses directly arising out of or relating to such breach. The Executive cannot disburden himself from the aforementioned prohibitions by the payment of the contractual penalty and/or damages.

13.NO ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Ex­cept as provided in this Section 13 hereof, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obliga­tions hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. The Company shall assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or Parent, provided that the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, and provided that the Company agrees to perform such obligations if such successor fails to do so in a timely manner.

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
18.INDEMNIFICATION. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Executive and hold the Executive harmless to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law against and in respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees, and the advancement of such fees subject to any legally required re­payment undertaking), losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations with the Company. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
19.LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall cover the Executive under direc­tors’ and officers’ liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the Employment Term in the same amount and to the same extent as the Company covers its other officers and directors.

hereof, whether written or oral. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
23.REPRESENTATIONS; ACTIONS BY PRIOR EMPLOYERS. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive has used the Executive’s best efforts to provide the Company with (i) each agreement with a predecessor employer which may have any bearing on the Executive’s legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on the Executive’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, or (ii) a summary of the applicable provisions of each such agreement which the Executive may not provide to the Company due to an existing confidentiality obligation, and (b) other than the agreements referenced in the preceding clause (a), the Executive is not a party to any agreement or understanding, whether written or oral, and is not subject to any restriction (including, without limitation, any non-competition restriction from a prior employer), which, in either case, could prevent the Executive from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder. The Executive understands that the foregoing representations are a material inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement, and to the extent that either of such representations is untrue in any material respect at any time or for any reason, this Agreement shall be voidable by the Company such that the parties hereunder shall be relieved of all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder; provided that any termination of the Ex­ecutive’s employment resulting from the Company exercising its rights pursuant to this sentence shall have the same consequences, especially financial consequences, as a termination of em­ployment by the Executive without good reason as defined in art. 340c para 2 CO. If any prior employer of the Executive, or any affiliate of any such prior employer, challenges the Executive’s right to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the Executive’s obligations hereunder (whether by action against the Executive, the Company, Parent and/or an Affiliate), the Company (on behalf of itself, Parent and all Affiliates) and the Executive each agree to use their reasonable best efforts to defend against such challenge.
24.WITHHOLDING. The Company will deduct from the Employee's gross re­muneration as provided for in this Agreement the applicable Employee contributions, respectively premiums to social security schemes (AHV|IV, EO, ALV), the premiums for the pension fund (BVG), as well as applicable taxes, if any in accordance with the respective laws, regulations and plan documents.
25.FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and do, or procure the doing of, all acts and things, and execute, or procure the execution of, all documents, as may reasonably be required to give full effect to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
​
GENERAL RELEASE
​
I, CANDIDATE NAME, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Trinseo Europe GmbH. (together with its Affiliates, the “Company”), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of [●] (the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective Affiliates and all present, former and future directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its Affiliates and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided below. The Released Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
1.I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 7 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive certain of the payments and benefits specified in Section 7 of the Agreement. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates.
2.Except as provided in paragraphs 1 above and 5 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, pu­nitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”).
3.I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
4.I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action.
5.I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever in respect of any Claim, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding 

	​
	A-1
	​

​

​

the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law at the time I sign this General Release, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding. Additionally, I am not waiving any right to the Accrued Benefits or indemnity.
6.In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (not­withstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending claim of the type described in paragraph 2 above as of the execution of this General Release.
7.I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.
8.I agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
9.I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to dis­close any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone. The Company agrees to disclose any such information only to any tax, legal or other counsel of the Company as required by law.
10.Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any governmental entity.
11.I represent that I am not aware of any claim by me other than the claims that are released by this General Release. I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering 

	​
	A-2
	​

​

​

into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it. 
12.Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.
13.Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and if possible under applicable law, replaced by such valid, legal and enforceable provision that best reflects the intent of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
14.This General release is subject to the substantive laws of Switzerland.

BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:
		1.	I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;

		2.	I UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS;

		3.	I VOLUNTARILY CONSENT TO EVERYTHING IN IT;

		4.	 I HAVE SIGNED THIS GENERAL RELEASE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUN­TARILY; AND

		5.	I AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GENERAL RELEASE MAY NOT BE AMENDED, WAIVED, CHANGED OR MODIFIED EXCEPT BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRE­SENTATIVE OF THE COMPANY AND BY ME.
