Fiscal 2011 Executive Bonus Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
 Costco Wholesale Corporation 
 Executive Bonus Plan 

For fiscal year 2011, executive officers (other than Jim Sinegal and Jeff Brotman) are, depending upon the individual, eligible for a bonus award of up
to approximately $100,000. The final bonus amount is determined by Jim Sinegal, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee. 

Eligibility for up to 50% of the bonus amount is determined by whether the Company has met its pre-tax income goal for the year, as indicated in the
Company’s internal budget. 
 The remaining 50% is determined by goals relevant to the executive officer’s area of responsibility, as
well as a discretionary component not linked to any particular metric: 
 For those whose responsibilities are operational, the
goals relate to sales, controllable expenses, shrink, and pre-tax profit in their areas of responsibility. 
 For those whose
responsibilities are primarily buying, the goals relate to sales, gross margin, shrink, and inventory turns in their areas of responsibility. 
 For those who responsibilities combine operational and buying functions, the goals relate to a combination of those described in the prior two paragraphs. 

For those whose responsibilities are staff functions, the goals relate to a combination of Company-wide operational and buying goals, in
addition to qualitative factors relevant to their areas of responsibility. 
 To be eligible for the annual bonus, the individual must still be
employed by the Company at the time bonus checks are issued (November).Form of Eleventh Supplemental Indenture

applicable Regular Record Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. 
 SECTION 2.04 Payment of
Principal, Interest and Other Amounts. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made, in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the Paying Agent, by translating the Brazilian real amount into U.S. dollars at
the Applicable Exchange Rate for the applicable Exchange Rate Determination Date provided to it by the Calculation Agent, through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture. Such payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest

Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in St. Louis, Missouri. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. Payments of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such
Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent.

date on which any payment is made in respect of the Notes following an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, as the case may be, and shall provide notice of such Applicable Exchange Rate to the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in the
manner contemplated in the Calculation Agent Agreement. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for purposes of calculating the Applicable Exchange Rate will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Company shall give the
Calculation Agent written notice of (i) a Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed promptly after notice of the redemption is given under Section 1104 of the Indenture and (ii) an Effective Date promptly after notice of such
Effective Date is given under Section 2.06(a)(ii) of this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, but in no case less than three Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or Effective Date, as the case may be. The Trustee shall give the Calculation
Agent at least three Business Day’s notice of a payment on the Notes following an acceleration thereof. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, “Business Day” shall have the meaning set forth in the proviso to the definition of
that term contained in Section 1.01. Upon receipt of the Applicable Exchange Rate from the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent will determine the amounts of principal and interest to be paid on the Notes on the basis of the Applicable Exchange
Rate in order to translate the amount of Brazilian reais to U.S. dollars.

 SECTION 2.06
Holders’ Option to Require Repayment upon a Change in Control. 
 (a) In the event that (a) a Change of Control
occurs, and (b) within the Change of Control Period, a Ratings Downgrade in respect of that Change of Control occurs (an “Early Redemption Event”): 
 (i) the Company will (A) within 30 days after becoming aware of the Early Redemption Event, provide written notice thereof to the Holders of the Notes, and (B) determine and provide written
notice of the effective date for the purposes of early repayment (the “Effective Date”). The Effective Date must be a Business Day not less than 60 and not more than 90 days after the giving of the notice regarding the Early
Redemption Event pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A); and 
 (ii) any Holder of Notes may, by submitting a redemption notice (the
“Early Redemption Notice”), demand from the Company repayment as of the Effective Date of any (in integral multiples of BRL1,000 (provided that the unrepurchased portion must be in a principal amount of at least BRL100,000))
or all of its Notes which have not otherwise been declared due for early redemption, at a repurchase price in cash of 101% of their principal amount plus interest accrued until (but excluding) the Effective Date (and all Additional Amounts, if any).

 (b) Any Early Redemption Notice shall be made in writing in English and shall be delivered by hand or by registered mail to
the Trustee not less than 30 days prior to the Effective Date at its specified office. The Early Redemption Notice must be accompanied by evidence showing that the relevant Holder is the Holder of the relevant Note(s) at the time the Early
Redemption Notice is delivered. Such evidence may be provided in the form of a certificate issued by any custodian or in any other suitable manner. Early Redemption Notices shall be irrevocable. 

(c) The Company shall not be required to redeem the Notes under this Section following an Early Redemption Event if a third party makes
an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. The Company will also not be
required to redeem the Notes under this Section if it has otherwise exercised its rights to redeem the Notes in full pursuant to this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture or has defeased the Notes as described in the Indenture. 

(d) If, as a result of this Section 2.06, Holders of the Notes submit Early Redemption Notices in respect of at least 85% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, the Company shall have the ability by notice to the Trustee to 

  
 - 10 -

 
redeem the entire Outstanding principal amount of the Notes on the Effective Date at the same price as for the Notes being redeemed under this Section. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
be given to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the Effective Date. Irrevocable notice of such redemption shall be given to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 1104 of the Indenture by the Company, or at the
Company’s request, by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, in each case as soon as practicable after receipt by the Trustee of the foregoing notice from the Company. 

(e) The provisions set forth in this Section 2.06 will not be effective unless and until they are approved substantially in the form
provided herein by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor will procure that a resolution to approve the terms of this Section 2.06 is presented to the shareholders of the Parent
Guarantor at the first annual general meeting after November 8, 2010 and at each successive annual general meeting of the Parent Guarantor thereafter until such resolution is approved and immediately following approval of such resolution the
Parent Guarantor will cause a copy thereof to be filed with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Brussels (“greffe du tribunal de commerce/griffie van de rechtbank van koophandel”). The Parent Guarantor will notify the Trustee promptly
after each shareholder meeting of the results of the vote on the proposed resolution. If the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor does not approve the provisions set forth in this Section 2.06 by the date that is eighteen
(18) months following the Original Issue Date, the interest rate applicable to the Notes will increase by 0.25% with effect from the next following day until the date that the Parent Guarantor notifies the Trustee that the provisions of this
Section 2.06 have been approved (or if such approval is no longer required in order for the Change in Control Clause to be effective), following which the interest rate applicable to the Notes will decrease by the same amount. 

SECTION 2.07 Optional Tax Redemption. 
 (a) The Company may, at the Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’
prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption
Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or
any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration or any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which
becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor,

would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however,
that the Notes may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company assigning its obligations under the Notes to a Substitute Company (as defined in Section 801 of the Indenture), unless such
assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 
 (b) Prior to the
mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant
Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result in such Change in Tax Law. 
 (c) No notice of
redemption pursuant to this Section 2.07 may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes
were then due. 
 SECTION 2.08 Additional Covenant. Solely with respect to the Guarantees of the Notes by the Subsidiary
Guarantors, clause (i) of Section 208 of the Indenture shall be deemed to read in its entirety as follows: 

“(i) at substantially the same time as its Guarantee of the Securities is terminated, the relevant Guarantor is, or has been,
released from its guarantee of the Senior Facility Agreement and the 2010 Senior Facility Agreement, or is no longer a guarantor under either the Senior Facility Agreement or the 2010 Senior Facility Agreement and”

Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, on November 17, 2015 (the “Maturity
Date”), the principal sum of BRL— translated into U.S. dollars at the Applicable Exchange Rate on the applicable Exchange Rate Determination Date relating to the Maturity Date, and to pay
interest thereon from November 17, 2010 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on May 17 and November 17 in each year, commencing on May 17, 2011, at the
rate of 9.750% per annum (subject to increase as provided herein), translated into U.S. dollars at the Applicable Exchange Rate on the applicable Exchange Rate Determination Date until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

 The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 2 or November 2 (whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to

Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. All payments of principal of and interest on this Security shall be made exclusively in such coin or currency of the United States

Agreement) will determine

 Exhibit A 

 

 
on the applicable Exchange Rate Determination Date (as defined herein) the Applicable Exchange Rate (as defined herein) at which principal and interest will be translated from Brazilian
reais into U.S. dollars. Thereafter the Paying Agent will determine the amount of principal and interest to be paid on the Securities based on the Applicable Exchange Rate. 

Subject to the terms of the Indenture, this Security is fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to all payments due hereon whether at the
Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Guarantees and the Indenture.

Registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities represented by this Security shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent.

 Exhibit A 

 

 [REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

1. Securities and Indenture 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (payable in U.S. dollars) (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series
under an Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November —, 2010 (the “Eleventh
Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case among the Company, Anheuser-Busch InBev NV/SA, as Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto from time to time and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

 2. Series and Denomination 
 This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of BRL750,000,000, except as provided in the Indenture. References herein to “this
series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, references herein to the “Securities” means (unless the context otherwise requires) the Securities of this series and
includes any other securities issued, as provided in the Indenture and forming a single series with the Securities of this series. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of BRL 100,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of BRL 1,000 in excess thereof. 

3. Duties of the Calculation Agent and Paying Agent 

The Company will maintain a calculation agent until all interest and principal payable on the Securities has been paid. The Calculation
Agent will determine the Applicable Exchange Rate for the relevant Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Effective Date, Stated Maturity or date on which any payment is made in respect of the Securities following an acceleration of the maturity of
the Securities, as the case may be, and shall provide such Applicable Exchange Rate to the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in the manner contemplated in the Calculation Agent Agreement. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for
purposes of calculating the Applicable Exchange Rate will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Company shall give the Calculation Agent written notice of (i) a Redemption Date for the Notes to be redeemed promptly after notice
of the redemption is given under Section 1104 of the Indenture and (ii) an Effective Date promptly after notice of such Effective Date is given 

  
 A-5

 Exhibit A 

 

 
under Section 2.06(a)(i) of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, but in no case less than three Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or Effective Date, as the case may be. The Trustee
shall give the Calculation Agent at least three Business Day’s notice of a payment on the Notes following an acceleration thereof. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, “Business Day” shall have the meaning set forth in the
proviso to the definition of that term contained in Section 1.01 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture. Upon receipt of the Applicable Exchange Rate from the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent will determine the amounts of principal and
interest to be paid on the Securities on the basis of the Applicable Exchange Rate in order to translate the amount of Brazilian reais to U.S. Dollars. 
 4. Repurchase at the Option of Holder Upon a Change in Control 
 In
the event that (a) a Change of Control occurs, and (b) within the Change of Control Period, a Ratings Downgrade in respect of that Change of Control occurs (an “Early Redemption Event”): 

(i) the Company will (A) within 30 days after becoming aware of the Early Redemption Event, provide written notice thereof to the
Holders of the Securities, and (B) determine and provide written notice of the effective date for the purposes of early repayment (the “Effective Date”). The Effective Date must be a Business Day not less than 60 and not more
than 90 days after the giving of the notice regarding the Early Redemption Event pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A); and 
 (ii) any
Holder of Securities may, by submitting a redemption notice, in the form attached as Annex A (the “Early Redemption Notice”), demand from the Company repayment as of the Effective Date of any (in integral multiples of BRL 1,000
(provided that the unrepurchased portion must be in a principal amount of at least BRL 100,000)) or all of its Securities which have not otherwise been declared due for early redemption, at a repurchase price in cash of 101% of their principal
amount plus interest accrued until (but excluding) the Effective Date (and all Additional Amounts, if any). 
 Any Early
Redemption Notice shall be made in writing in English and shall be delivered by hand, by registered mail, or by facsimile transmission to the Trustee not less than 30 days prior to the Effective Date at its specified office. The Early Redemption
Notice must be accompanied by evidence showing that the relevant Holder is the Holder of the relevant Securities at the time the Early Redemption Notice is delivered. Such evidence may be provided in the form of a certificate issued by any custodian
or in any other suitable manner. Early Redemption Notices shall be irrevocable. 
 The Company shall not be required to redeem
the Securities under this Section following an Early Redemption Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all
the Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. The Company will also not be required to redeem the Securities under this Section if it has otherwise exercised it rights to redeem the Securities in full or has defeased the
Securities as described in the Indenture. 

  
 A-6

 Exhibit A 

 

 If, as a result of this Section, Holders of the Securities submit Early Redemption
Notices in respect of at least 85% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, the Company shall have the ability by notice to the Trustee to redeem the entire outstanding principal amount of the Securities on the Effective Date
at the same price as for the Securities being redeem under this Section. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the Effective Date. Notice of such redemption shall be given to the Holders of
the Securities to be redeemed in the manner provided for in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture. 
 The provisions set forth in
this Section will not be effective unless and until they are approved substantially in the form provided herein by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor will procure that a resolution to
approve the terms of this Section is presented to the shareholders of the Parent Guarantor at the first annual general meeting after November 8, 2010 and at each successive annual general meeting of the Parent Guarantor thereafter until such
resolution is approved and immediately following approval of such resolution the Parent Guarantor will cause a copy thereof to be filed with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Brussels (“greffe du tribunal de commerce/griffie van de
rechtbank van koophandel”). The Parent Guarantor will notify the Trustee promptly after each shareholder meeting of the results of the vote on the proposed resolution. If the general meeting of shareholders of the Parent Guarantor does not
approve the provisions set forth in this Section by the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Original Issue Date, the interest rate applicable to the Securities will increase by 0.25% with effect from the next following day until the
date that the Parent Guarantor notifies the Trustee that the provisions of this Section have been approved (or unless and until such approval is no longer required in order for the Change in Control Clause to be effective), following which the
interest rate applicable to the Securities will decrease by the same amount. 
 5. Optional Tax Redemption

 The Company may, at the Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Securities in whole, but not in part,
upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being
redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is
incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration or any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings
(including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a payment were then
due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that

  
 A-7

 Exhibit A 

 

 
the Securities may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company assigning its obligations under the Securities to a Substitute Company, unless
such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 
 Prior to the
mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant Guarantor is
or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result in such Change in Tax Law. 
 No notice of redemption pursuant
to this Section may be given earlier that ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due.

 6. Additional Amounts 
 In the event that any Guarantor becomes obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities, such Guarantor will make all payments in respect of the Securities without withholding or deduction for or
on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction at source by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident
or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, such Guarantor will pay to the Holders
such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which
would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which: 

(a) are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or otherwise in any
manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by such Guarantor from payment of principal or interest made by it, or 
 (b) are payable by reason of the Holder or beneficial owner having, or having had, some personal or business connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and not merely by reason of the fact that
payments in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from sources in, or are secured in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or 

(c) are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to provide certification,
information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of the Holder and 

  
 A-8

 Exhibit A 

 

 
beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirements relating to such matters, whether required or imposed by statute, treaty,
regulation or administrative practice, as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of such taxes, or 
 (d) consist of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property or similar taxes, or 
 (e) are imposed on or with respect to any payment by the applicable Guarantor to the registered Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of
such payment to the extent that taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such registered Holder been the sole beneficial owner of this Security, or 
 (f) are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union directive or regulation concerning the taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to
such taxation and to which the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or the European Union is a party, or (iii) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such directive, regulation, treaty or understanding, or

 (g) are payable by reason of a change in law or practice that becomes effective more than 30 days after the
relevant payment of principal or interest becomes due, or is duly provided for and written notice thereof is provided to the Holders, whichever occurs later, or 
 (h) are payable because any Security was presented to a particular paying agent for payment if the Security could have been presented to another paying agent without any such withholding or deduction, or

 (i) are payable for any combination of (a) through (h) above. 

References to principal or interest in respect of the Securities shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be payable
as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The covenant regarding Additional Amounts shall not apply to any Guarantor at any time when
such Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and will apply to the Company any time it is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

7. Transfer and Exchange 
 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 

  
 A-9

 Exhibit A 

 

 
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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether
or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 8. Default 
 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 of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity and/or security, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this
series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security. 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. 

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. 

  
 A-10

 Exhibit A 

 

 9. Amendment, Modification and Waiver 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company or the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (irrespective of series) that are to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 10. Defeasance 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 11. Governing Law 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

12. Defined Terms 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Base Indenture or the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture or the Eleventh Supplemental
