PROMISE TO PAY.  UTG, INC. ("Borrower") promises to pay to ILLINOIS NATIONAL BANK ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Eight Million & 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 3.750%.  Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.  The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.

PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on November 20, 2016.  In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning December 20, 2015, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.  Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (366 during leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.  All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.  In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $50.00.  Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.  Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language.  If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.  All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:  Illinois National Bank, 322 E. Capitol Springfield, IL 62701.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $25.00, whichever is greater.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by 4.000 percentage points.  However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:

Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan.  This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

Change In Ownership.  Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

Cure Provisions.  If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within ten (10) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than ten (10) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

LENDER'S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower will pay Lender that amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals.  If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER.  Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.

GOVERNING LAW.  This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Illinois.

CHOICE OF VENUE.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of SANGAMON County, State of Illinois.

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers any attorney-at-law to appear in any court of record and to confess judgment against Borrower for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced by an affidavit signed by an officer of Lender setting forth the amount then due, attorneys' fees plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal.  If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney.  Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect.  No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full.  Borrower hereby waives and releases any and all claims or causes of action which Borrower might have against any attorney acting under the terms of authority which Borrower has granted herein arising out of or connected with the confession of judgment hereunder.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

COLLATERAL.  Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by Commercial Pledge Agreement dated November 20, 2013.

LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.  Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized person.  Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing.  Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.  The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

SECURITY INTEREST IN DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS.  Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation all deposit accounts held jointly with someone else and all deposit accounts Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such deposit accounts.

DISHONORED ITEM FEE.  Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $25.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.  If your payment is returned unpaid, you authorize Illinois National Bank to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account to collect a fee of $25.00.

the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Securities
shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of 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, the Company or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series; provided that
the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, 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 Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company 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 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 Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. 

  
 11 

 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
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 5.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.07(b), or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of 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 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 canceled 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 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 Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record dates 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 Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, 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 180th 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 180th day after the applicable record date. 

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 

Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company or Guarantors. 

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

  
 12 

 (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Division; 

(b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at (i) 3b, boulevard Prince Henry, L-1724 Luxembourg, Attn: Treasury Department or (ii) any other address previously furnished in writing to
such Trustee by the Company; 
 (c) Parent by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to such Guarantor addressed to it at (i) 20 Lower Hatch Street Dublin 2, Ireland, Attn: Treasury Department or (ii) any other address previously
furnished in writing to such Trustee by Parent; or 
 (d) Medtronic, Inc. by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to Medtronic, Inc. addressed to it at (i) 710 Medtronic Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55432, Attn: Treasury Department or (ii) any
other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by Medtronic, Inc. 
 Section 1.06 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) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders. 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, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

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 by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a
part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 1.10 Separability Clause. 

In case any provision or any portion of any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or in any Note Guarantee shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 1.12 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. 

This Indenture, the Securities and any Note Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York

No Holder of Securities may initiate proceedings against the Company based on Article 98 of the Luxembourg law dated August 10, 1915 on
commercial companies, as amended. 
 EACH OF THE COMPANY, PARENT, MEDTRONIC, INC., THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company, Parent and Medtronic, Inc. hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York in any suit, action or proceeding based on or arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Securities and irrevocably agrees that
all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. Each of the Company, Parent and Medtronic, Inc. irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the
venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company, Parent and

Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act. 

Section 1.15 Judgment Currency. 

The Company and each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that if for the purpose of
obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency
in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required
Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment is given. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a legal holiday in The City
of New York.

(herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to             or registered assigns, the principal sum of              Dollars
on                  and to pay interest thereon from              or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,

 Section 2.03 Form of Reverse of Security. 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of                      (herein called the “Indenture”, which term
shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, Medtronic Public Limited Company, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, Medtronic, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and Wells Fargo Bank, 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 for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face
hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $            . The Company may at any time issue additional securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same
terms as the Securities; provided that no additional securities of a series may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities. 

[If applicable, insert—The Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time [on or after
            ,            ], as a whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, upon mailing notice of such redemption not less
than 30 and not more than 60 days to the Holders of such Securities, at a redemption price equal to             .] 

[If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 

[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this
series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.] 

  
 18 

 [If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall
be equal to—insert formula for determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.] 

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

  
 19 

 
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder’s 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. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$             and any integral multiple thereof. 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 to a Holder 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 Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Reference is made to the Indenture. Such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth herein. 
 All terms used in this Security which are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 All Securities of any one

the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series are
established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 
 Section 3.02 Denominations. 

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. 

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any of the Managing Directors or Managers of Medtronic Global Holdings GP
S.à.r.l., the general partner of the Company, or by the Company’s President, any Vice President, its Treasurer, its Assistant Treasurer, its General Counsel, its Secretary or its Assistant Secretary, and attested to by any of the
aforementioned officers or directors. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who is a proper officer of the Company at the time of execution of such Security shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company and any Note Guarantee executed by the Guarantors to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order
shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, 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 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel (subject to
any reservations set out therein) stating: 

  
 25 

 (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution
as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(c) that such Securities and the related Note Guarantees, 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 and the Guarantors, as applicable, 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 principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 
 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.

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph
at or prior to the 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. 

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 executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 3.04 Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and each Guarantor may execute any Note Guarantee
thereon, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued 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.

  
 26 

 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of
that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series 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 series, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 

Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Certain Transfers and Exchanges. 

(a) Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Security Registrar designated pursuant to this Section 3.05 a register (being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all Co-Security Registrars and herein sometimes collectively
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 Securities and of transfers of Securities. Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, is hereby initially appointed Security Registrar, and the Trustee is hereby initially appointed Co-Security Registrar, in each case for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of
Securities as herein provided. The Company, with prior notice to the Trustee, may (i) replace the Security Registrar with an entity that satisfies the eligibility requirements of a Trustee under Section 6.09 and (ii) remove or add Co-Security Registrars. A Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any other Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar, as the case may be. The Trustee shall have the right to inspect the register of the Security Registrar (and any Co-Security Registrar) at all reasonable
times and may request and rely upon a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Security Registrar (and any Co-Security Registrar) as to the names and addresses of Holders and the principal amounts and
numbers of the Securities held thereby and such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 The Company hereby initially selects
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Corporate Trust Services, 600 South 4th Street, 6th Floor, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Attn: Administrator for Medtronic, as the office or agency of the

  
 27 

 
Company in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange in
accordance with Section 10.02. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and each Guarantor shall execute any Note Guarantees thereon. 
 At the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, 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 shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive and each Guarantors
shall execute any Note Guarantees thereon. 
 All Securities and any Note Guarantees thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of guaranteed Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and any Guarantees thereon
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing. 
 The transferor shall also provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow
the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may rely on any such information provided to it and shall have
no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of 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 Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified
tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

  
 28 

 The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3), and (4) below shall apply only to Global
Securities: 
 (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated
for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, (B) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive registered Securities and executes and delivers
to the Security Registrar a Company Order providing that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, (C) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (D) there shall exist such
circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01. 

(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 

(4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or
any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.07 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 (5) In connection with any proposed exchange of
Global Securities for Securities in definitive registered form, the Company or DTC shall be required to provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting
obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may rely on any such information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such
information. 
 Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Wrongfully Taken Securities. 

  
 29 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and each Guarantor shall execute any Note Guarantee thereon.

 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) 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 the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding and each Guarantor shall execute any Note Guarantees thereon. 
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken 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. 

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 the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series and any Note Guarantee thereon issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or wrongfully
taken Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, whether or not the destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that 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 wrongfully taken Securities. 
 Section 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. 
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities,
interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall 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. 
 Any interest on any Security of any 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 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 (a) or (b) below: 

  
 30 

 (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date ( 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 in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit 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 Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
be not 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 the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.06, 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (b). 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause,
such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company,
any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.07) any interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 Section 3.09 Cancellation. 

  
 31 

 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for
credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company or any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or any Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No 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 shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. 

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

ARTICLE 4

Government Obligations or, in the case of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Foreign Government Obligations (provided, that, solely for purposes of the foregoing clause (2), such U.S. Government Obligations and/or
Foreign Government Obligations shall be accompanied by an opinion of an Independent Financial Firm certifying to the sufficiency of such U.S. Government and/or Foreign Government Obligations so delivered)) in an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or
to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

  
 32

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

(g) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any Guarantor with respect to it or its debts under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, examiner, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such
involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company or any Guarantor under the federal bankruptcy laws or the laws of the Company’s or such

or such Guarantor or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors (an event of default specified in clause (g) or (h) a “Bankruptcy Default”); or 

(i) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default (other than a Bankruptcy Default) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing

  
 34 

 
to the Company and the Guarantors (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If
a Bankruptcy Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Guarantors
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (a) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or
deposited with Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (i) all overdue interest on all 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 any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (iii) to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, if any; 

(b) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (c) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company and each Guarantor covenants that if: 

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the
Maturity thereof, the Company or a Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to
the extent that 

  
 35 

 
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the 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 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or a Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its
creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected. 

  
 36 

 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; and 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such funds have been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively;
and 
 THIRD: To the Company or the Guarantors, as their interests may appear. 

Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, examiner or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 

(b) 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 to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or
Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such
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 of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders (it being
understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

  
 37 

 Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.07) interest 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 rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder 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 the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 5.10 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 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
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 the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series; provided that: 

  
 38 

 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, the
Securities or any Note Guarantee, 
 (b) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders, 

(c) such direction will not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received a satisfactory
indemnity, and 
 (d) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 

(a) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs, including attorney’s fees and expenses, against any such party litigant, in the manner
and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted
by the Company or the Trustee. 
 Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each
Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer
and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

  
 39 

 ARTICLE 6 

THE TRUSTEE 
 Section
6.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust
Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the
absence of willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether
or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

Section 6.02 Notice of Defaults. 

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice
of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(e) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.03 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

  
 40 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01: 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties or a Guarantor; 
 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its choosing and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
attorney; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys; 
 (h) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or punitive loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 

(i) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder; 

  
 41 

 (j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 

(k) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; and 

(l) the Company shall provide to the Trustee on a timely basis such information as the Trustee requires to enable the Trustee to prepare
and file any form required to be submitted by the Company with the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of the Notes relating to original issue discount. 

For certain payments made pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee may be required to make a “reportable payment” or
“withholdable payment” and in such cases the Trustee shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent, respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required under Chapters 3, 4 and 61 of the Code. The
Trustee shall have the sole right to make the determination as to which payments are “reportable payments” or “withholdable payments.” All parties to this Indenture shall provide an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or, in each case, any successor form) to the Trustee prior to closing, and shall promptly update any such form to the extent such form becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. The Trustee shall have the right to request from any party to this Indenture, or any other Person entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably
necessary for the Trustee to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. To the extent any such forms to be delivered under this Section 6.03 are not provided prior to or by the time the related payment is required to be
made or are determined by the Trustee to be incomplete and/or inaccurate in any respect, the Trustee shall be entitled to withhold on any such payments hereunder to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4 or 61 of the Code, and shall
have no obligation to gross up any such payment. 
 Section 6.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 6.05 May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or 

  
 42 

 
pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 6.06 Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall
be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 Section
6.07 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree: 

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall be agreed
upon in writing from time to time between the Trustee and the Company and shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (c) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and
their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or
willful misconduct. 
 To secure the Company’s and the Guarantor’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. 

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section
5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law. 

  
 43 

 Section 6.08 Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate
such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 
 Section 6.09 Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of
each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 
 The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantors. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantors. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the removal of the Trustee, the removed Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series. 
 If at any time: 

  
 44 

 (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor
by the Company, Parent or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (b) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, Parent or by any such Holder, or 

(c) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the 

  
 45 

 
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder. The successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to the Holders. 
 In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (b) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (c) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee
of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article.

 Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the
same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such Guarantor (or any such other obligor). 

Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent 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 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. 

  
 47 

 The Trustee hereby initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as an Authenticating
Agent. The Company hereby deems Wells Fargo Bank, National Association an acceptable Authenticating Agent. 
 Any corporation into which an
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent (including the authenticating agency contemplated by this Indenture), shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided such corporation
shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in
Section 1.06 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. 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 Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

rules and regulations prescribe) that Parent may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than confidential filings, documents
subject to confidential treatment and correspondence with the Commission); provided, that the filing of the foregoing documents via the EDGAR system (or any successor electronic filing system), shall be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee
as of the time such documents are filed via EDGAR (or such successor system); provided, further, that if at any time Parent is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will file with
the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may be required pursuant to Section 13 of
the Exchange Act, in respect of a debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations. The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not
such information, documents or reports have been filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor system).

of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantors’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 ARTICLE 8 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE

The Company shall not in any transaction or series of transactions, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or sell, assign, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless: 
 (a) either: (i) the
Company shall be the continuing Person; or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company), formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged, or the Person that acquires, by sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall (1) be a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or similar entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (including the Incurrence of any Debt in connection with such transaction or
series of transactions), no Event of Default, and 

  
 50 

 
no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Debt of a
Restricted Subsidiary Incurred prior to such transaction which is assumed by the Company, another Restricted Subsidiary or the Person assuming the Company’s obligations hereunder in connection with such transaction shall be deemed not to be a
separate Incurrence of Debt); and 
 (c) if, as a result of any such consolidation or merger or such conveyance, transfer or lease,
properties or assets of the Company would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance which would not be permitted by this Indenture, the Company or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such
steps as shall be necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or prior to) all indebtedness secured thereby; and 

(d) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture comply with the requirements of this Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall not apply to any consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and Parent and/or any other Restricted Subsidiary. 

Section 8.02 Successor Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of
substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 8.01, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and
be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor
Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

(e) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided

supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors, in each case when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under
this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 10.08, except to increase any such percentage or to
provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require
the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to the “Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section and Article 10, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.11 and
Section 9.01(h); or 
 (d) release Parent or Medtronic, Inc. from its obligations in respect of the Note Guarantees or modify the Note
Guarantees of any series other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or
eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 

  
 53 

 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 Section
9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate

 ARTICLE 10 

COVENANTS 
 Section
10.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 

  
 54 

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly
and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. The performance by any Guarantor of the obligations of the Company under this
Section 10.01 shall be deemed to constitute performance thereof by the Company. 
 Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or
Agency. 
 The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that
series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 10.03 Money for Securities Payments to
Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and
interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal
of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company hereby initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association at its office located at 600 South 4th Street, 6th Floor, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55415, Attn: Administrator for Medtronic, as a Paying Agent. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall 

  
 55 

 
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (a) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent
and (b) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent,
such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; 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 the 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 the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York 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 be repaid to the Company. 
 For certain
payments made pursuant to this Indenture, the Paying Agent may be required to make a “reportable payment” or “withholdable payment” and in such cases the Paying Agent shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent,
respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required under Chapters 3, 4 and 61 of the Code. The Paying Agent shall have the sole right to make the determination as to which payments are “reportable payments” or
“withholdable payments.” All parties to this Indenture shall provide an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or, in each case, any successor
form) to the Paying Agent prior to closing, and shall promptly update any such form to the extent such form becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. The Paying Agent shall have the right to request from any party to this Indenture, or any
other Person entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Paying Agent to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. To the extent any such
forms to be delivered under this Section 10.03 are not provided prior to or by the time the related payment is required to be made or are determined by the Paying Agent to be incomplete and/or inaccurate in any respect, the Paying Agent shall
be entitled to withhold on any such payments hereunder to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4 or 61 of the Code, and shall have no obligation to gross up any such payment. 

  
 56 

 Section 10.04 Statement by Officers as to Default. 

(a) The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) shall deliver to the
Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent a brief certificate (which need not comply with the requirements of the definition of “Officers’ Certificate” set forth herein) from the principal executive,
financial or accounting officer of the Company on its behalf as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ compliance with all covenants and agreements under this Indenture required to be complied with by the Company or
such Guarantor. Such certificate need not include a reference to any non-compliance that has been fully cured prior to the date as of which such certificate speaks. 

(b) The Company or a Guarantor, as applicable, shall, within 30 days after becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default,
provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate providing notice of and specifying such Event of Default. 
 Section
10.05 Existence. 
 Subject to Article 8, each of the Company and the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or
franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or such Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders. 
 Section 10.06 Limitation on Secured Debt. 

(a) Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Debt secured by a Lien on any Principal Property, now
owned or hereafter owned by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary, without effectively providing that the Securities of each series (together with, if Parent shall so determine, any other
Debt of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt so long as such secured debt shall be so secured;
provided that Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Debt secured by Liens without equally and ratably securing the Securities of each series if, on the date of the Incurrence, after giving effect to the Incurrence and to the

compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and/or such Guarantor, as applicable, and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE 11 
 REDEMPTION OF
SECURITIES 
 Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. 

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section
11.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting
only a single Security), the Company shall, at 

  
 60 

 
least 40 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount
of Securities of such series to be redeemed, and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series; provided that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified
tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such
Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to
the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities 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. 

Section 11.04 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. An Officer’s Certificate specifying the actual redemption price must be sent to the Trustee no later than five Business Days prior
to the redemption date. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 

  
 61 

 (a) the Redemption Date, 

(b) the calculation of the Redemption Price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest; 

(c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to
be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 
 (d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price
will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(e) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 

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

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

 Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.06 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, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will 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 3.07. 

  
 62 

 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption,
the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 11.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and each Guarantor
shall execute any Note Guarantee thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 

ARTICLE 12 
 SINKING FUNDS 

Section 12.01 Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as
provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 Section 12.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (b) may apply
as a credit 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 any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such
Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the
Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 12.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

  
 63 

 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company
will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment
of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such
sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 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 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.02 or 13.03, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.01 and upon compliance with

case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called
“Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee

9.01(b) or 9.01(g) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (b) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(e) (with respect to any of Section 8.01, Sections 10.04 through Section 10.08, inclusive, and any such
covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.01(s), 9.01(b) or 9.01(g)), and Sections 5.01(e) through 5.01(i) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, 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 specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.01(d)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

direct obligation of any member nation of the European Union for the payment of which obligation the full faith and credit of the respective nation is pledged so long as such nation has a credit rating at least equal to that of the highest rated
member nation of the European Economic Area or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality for such government, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and
credit obligation by such government, which, in either case of (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities

been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit,
Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (c) In the event of an election to have Section 13.03 apply to any Securities or
any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the

not to occur. 

  
 66

notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 5.01(i) and (j), at any time
on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

 Subject to
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of
this Section and Section 13.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 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
Outstanding Securities. 

  
 67 

 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the
case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 Section 13.06 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released
pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held
in trust pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following
such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 

ARTICLE 14

any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives 

  
 68 

 
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 14.06. 

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian,
trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of
any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity
of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.02 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 5.02, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the
Note Guarantees. 
 (e) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be
filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the
Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced
in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had
not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (f) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(g) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without
set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section
14.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

  
 69 

 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
U.S. federal or state law or law of such Guarantor’s jurisdiction of organization to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that
the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect
to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 14, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Note Guarantee obligations under this
Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
 Section 14.03 Execution and Delivery. 

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01, at the time a series of Securities is executed and delivered, each
Guarantor shall execute a notation of Guarantee substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.07 of Exhibit A hereto, with such modifications as may be deemed necessary by the Company and such Guarantor, on behalf of such Guarantor by an
officer or person holding an equivalent title. 
 (b) Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Securities. 

(c) If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Security, the Note Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless. 
 (d) The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after
the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

Section 14.04 Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to
the provisions of Section 14.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all
amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities shall have been paid in full. 
 Section
14.05 Benefits Acknowledged. 

  
 70 

 Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 14.06 Release of Note Guarantees. 

(a) A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Note Guarantee shall
thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee shall be required for the release of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee: 

(1) (A) upon the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into either the Company or any other Guarantor that is the surviving
person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following or concurrently with the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to either the Company or another Guarantor (and, if applicable, any minority
stockholders of such Guarantor on a pro rata basis according to their ownership interests in such Guarantor); or 
 (B) upon the
Company exercising its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options in accordance with Article 13 or the Company’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities; or 

(C) the release or extinguishment of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Debt under all outstanding Guaranteed Bonds, including the
release or extinguishment of such guarantee as a result of the maturity, repayment, retirement, replacement or refinancing of such outstanding Guaranteed Bonds (which release may be simultaneous with the release of the Note Guarantee hereunder);
provided, that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and 
 (2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

(b) At the written request and expense of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such documents
prepared by the Company or such Guarantor and reasonably required in order to acknowledge such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Note Guarantee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation
on the Securities to reflect any Note Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge. 
 Section 14.07 Guarantors May
Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms; Successor Substituted. 
 (a) No Guarantor shall, in any transaction or series of
transactions, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless: 

(i) either: (1) such Guarantor shall be the continuing Person; or (2) the Person (if other than such Guarantor), formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is 

  
 71 

 
merged, or the Person that acquires, by sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, shall (A) be a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or similar entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state or political subdivision thereof, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom or
any member country of the European Union and (B) expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and performance or observance of every
covenant of this Indenture on the part of such Guarantor to be performed or observed; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction (including the Incurrence of any Debt in connection with such transaction or series of transactions), no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred
and be continuing (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Debt of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred prior to such transaction which is assumed by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or the Person assuming such Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder in connection with such transaction shall be deemed not to be a separate incurrence of Debt); 
 (iii) if, as a
result of any such consolidation or merger or such conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of a Guarantor would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance which would not be permitted by this
Indenture, such Guarantor or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or prior to) all indebtedness secured thereby; and 

(iv) such Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture comply with the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 14.07 shall not apply to any consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets between or among a Guarantor and Parent and/or any other Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

(c) Upon any consolidation of a Guarantor with, or merger of a Guarantor into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of
substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor in accordance with Section 14.07(a), the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which such Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and
be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as such Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the
predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

 ARTICLE 15 

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS 

Section 15.01 Redemption upon Changes in Withholding Taxes. 

Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the Securities of any series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the
option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date
and Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 15.02), if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of Luxembourg, the United States or other jurisdiction in which the Company or any
Guarantor or, in each case, any successor thereof (including a continuing Person formed by a consolidation with the Company or any Guarantor, into which the Company or such Guarantor is merged, or that acquires or leases all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Company or such Guarantor) may be organized, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or
official interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, including any action taken by, or change in the published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether
such action, change or holding is with respect to the Company or a Guarantor), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective on or after the date the Securities of such series are issued, the Company or such Guarantor has become, or
there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities of such series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of
commercially reasonable measures available to the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, not including substitution of the obligor on the Securities; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given earlier
than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated, or there is a material probability the Company or Guarantor would otherwise be obligated, to pay such Additional Amount. Prior to
the publication or, where relevant, mailing (and/or to the extent permitted by applicable procedures or regulations, electronic delivery) of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(A) an
Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it or (B) an Officer’s Certificate of the applicable
Guarantor stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by such Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, as the case may be, as described above, and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax
counsel to the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to
pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking
commercially reasonable measures available to it as described above. 
 Section 15.02 Payment of Additional Amounts. 

  
 73 

 All payments made by the Company or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Securities and any
Note Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of
any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”), unless the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company or any
Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities or the Note Guarantee, as the case may be, the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case
may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the
amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment to a holder of Securities or a holder of beneficial
interests in Global Securities where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such holder’s mere ownership of the Securities or for or on account of: 

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such
Securities) or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of a power over, such holder (or beneficial owner) if such holder (or beneficial owner) is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability
company, corporation or other entity: 
 (1) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in,
a trade or business in the Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction (in each case, other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities, without another presence or business in such Taxing
Jurisdiction); 
 (2) has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities)
with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been physically present therein; 

(3) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, is or was with respect to the United States a personal
holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 (4) actually or constructively owns or owned 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or the applicable Guarantor within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or 

  
 74 

 (5) is or was a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant
to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. 

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities,
except as otherwise provided herein; 
 (c) any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Securities (where
presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or
holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 15-day period; 

(d) any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable
certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or
administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; 

(e) with respect to withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, any such Taxes imposed by reason of the failure of such holder to
fulfill the statement requirements of sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code; 
 (f) any Taxes that are payable by any method other than
withholding or deduction by the Company or a Guarantor or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Securities; 
 (g) any
Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any Securities if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent; 

(h) any withholding or deduction for Taxes which would not have been imposed if the relevant Securities had been presented to another
paying agent in a country that is a member of the European Union as of the date of this Indenture; 
 (i) any withholding or deduction
required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an
intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code or; 
 (j) any combination of Section 15.02(a),
(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (i). 
 Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests of such Security, as the case may
be. This exception, however, will apply 

  
 75 

 
only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity,
would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment. 

The Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and
(ii) remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will, upon request, make available to
the holders of the Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or the applicable Guarantor or
if, notwithstanding the Company’s or the applicable Guarantor’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company or the applicable Guarantor. 

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities or the Note Guarantee is due and payable, if
the Company or a Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company or the applicable Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will
be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of Securities on the payment date. 

In addition, the Company will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties
and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in Luxembourg or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the
Securities. 
 The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive any termination of the discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis
mutandis to any jurisdiction in which the Company or a Guarantor or any successor Person to the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority
or agency thereof or therein; provided, however, the date on which the Company or the applicable Guarantor changes its jurisdiction in which it is organized or such Person becomes a successor to the Company or the applicable Guarantor,
as the case may be, shall be substituted for the date on which the series of Securities was issued. 
 Whenever in this Indenture, the
Securities or the Note Guarantee there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal and premium, if any, redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
