The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company
after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent
day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) — H.15” (or any successor designation or
publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities — Treasury constant maturities — Nominal”
(or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as
applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the
Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal
to the Remaining Life, the two yields — one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately
shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life — and
shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result
to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining
Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable
Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years,
as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

 

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption
date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00, New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States
Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury
security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant
from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date,
the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more
United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria
of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury
security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities
at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield
to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as
a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal
places.

Article 3

The Notes

 

Section 3.01.
Amount; Series; Terms. (a) There is hereby created and designated one series of Securities under the Base Indenture: the title
of the Notes shall be “6.000% Notes due 2028.” The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by
this Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to
any other series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other
series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.

 

    10

     

    

 

(b)            The
aggregate principal amount of Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial
Notes”) shall be limited to $400,000,000, subject to increase as set forth in ‎Section 3.03.

 

(c)            The
Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be January 15, 2028. The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, purchase, redemption,
registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge (in accordance with and subject to Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture),
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office.

 

(d)            The
Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.000% per annum, beginning on December 7, 2022, or from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to or for which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as further provided in the form of Note annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest payment dates for the Notes
shall be January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2023 (each such date, an “Interest Payment
Date”) and the “record date” for any interest payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately
preceding January 1 and July 1; provided that upon the Stated Maturity of the Notes, interest shall be payable on
such Stated Maturity from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided, and shall include the required payment
of principal or premium, if any; and provided further, the “record date” for any interest, principal, or premium,
if any, payable on the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be the immediately preceding January 1, 2028. If any Interest Payment Date,
Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and, unless the Company
defaults on such payment, no interest shall accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity
or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(e)            The
Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or its
nominee, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture.

 

(f)             Payment
of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on a Global Security registered in the name of or held by the Depositary or its nominee
shall be made in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global
Security. If Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on certificated
Notes in definitive form may, at the Company’s option, be made by (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by the Holders thereof or (ii) if no such account is specified at least 15 days prior to the applicable date for
such payment, by mailing a check to the applicable Holder’s registered address as set forth in the Securities Register.

 

    11

Section 3.03.
Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of the
Indenture, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional
Notes having the same terms and conditions as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes in all respects (the “Additional
Notes”), except that Additional Notes:

 

(i)            may
have a different issue date from the Initial Notes;

 

(ii)           may
have a different issue price from the Initial Notes; and

 

(iii)          may,
if applicable, have a different interest accrual date and first Interest Payment Date following the issue date of such Additional Notes
than the Initial Notes;

 

provided
that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes
shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Except as set forth in ‎Section 5.05, the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes
will, in each case, be consolidated and form a single series, and will have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, repurchase, waivers,
amendments or otherwise, and will vote together as one class on all matters.

 

The Company may, to the extent permitted by law,
and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise,
whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private
agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased
pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer
be considered outstanding under the Indenture upon their purchase.

 

Section 3.04.
No Sinking Fund. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund.

 

Article 4

Redemption; Offer to Purchase

 

Section 4.01.
Optional Redemption. (a) Subject to ‎Section 1.02 hereof, the provisions of Article 5 of the Base Indenture, as
supplemented by the provisions of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes.

 

    12

     

    

 

(b)            Prior
to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days’ notice (which notice will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s
procedures)), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater
of:

 

(i)            (A) the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the
redemption date (assuming that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, less (B) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

 

(ii)          100%
of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

(c)            On
or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than
10 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance
with the Depositary’s procedures)), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

(d)            The
Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding
 ‎Section 4.01‎(b), installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior
to a redemption date for such Notes shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business
on the relevant record date in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment
of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, for any Notes called for redemption pursuant to this ‎Section 4.01, on
and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes called for redemption.

 

(f)            In
the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee
in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures and any applicable stock exchange’s
procedures. No such Note of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only,
the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in
the case of Global Securities, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name
of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. In the case of Global Securities, so long as the Notes
are held by The Depository Trust Company, Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, and Clearstream Banking S.A.
(or another Depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the applicable Depositary.

 

    13

     

    

 

Section 4.02.
Redemption for Tax Reasons. (a) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption (the “Tax
Redemption Price”) if a Change in Tax Law occurs.

 

(b)            The
date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice of tax redemption, which will be given in accordance with ‎Section 5.02
of the Base Indenture not earlier than 90 days prior to, and not later than 90 days after, the earliest date on which the Company, would
be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were actually due on such date and, at the time such
notification of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

 

(c)            Prior
to giving the notice of a tax redemption, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company
is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Company to so redeem have occurred and an Opinion of Counsel to that effect based on the statement of facts.

 

Section 4.03.
Offer to Purchase. (a) An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders
of the Notes. The Company will notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending
the offer to Holders of the Notes of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Company or, at the
Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

(3)            an

(4)            information
concerning the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries which the Company in good faith believes will enable the Holders to make an
informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase;

 

(5)            a
Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in minimum denominations
of $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no Note in a denomination of other
than $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof may remain outstanding after giving effect to such repurchase);

cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

 

(10)          Holders
are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company or the Trustee not later than the close
of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate
number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

 

(11)          if
any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued (provided that
no Note in an unauthorized denomination may remain outstanding after any repurchase); and

 

(12)          if
any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Notes.

 

The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the
Change of Control, state that the Offer to Purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the
payment date specified in the notice.

to each Holder, a new Note (or beneficial interest in a Global Security) equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes
surrendered.

 

(e)            The
Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the
above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

 

(f)            The
Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such
an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third

is so secured. In the case of the Credit Facilities, such obligation shall arise concurrently with the grant of any Lien thereunder, whether
or not any Indebtedness will be outstanding under the Credit Facilities at such time. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders
pursuant to this ‎Section 5.01 shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released
and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.

Liens are limited to the assets or property then being developed, operated, constructed, altered, repaired or improved and the land on
which such property is erected and fixtures comprising a part thereof and the capital stock of any Person formed to own such property
or assets);

(24)            Liens
in favor of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

 

(c)            Except
in the case of any lien granted under the Credit Facilities (as to which no exceptions to the restrictions on Liens and the obligation
to equally and ratably secure the Notes set forth in this ‎Section 5.01(a) and ‎(b) apply), the restriction on
Liens on property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary contained above will also not apply to the creation, incurrence
or assumption by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions under this ‎Section 5.01
if the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness secured by Liens on property or assets of the Company and of any Restricted Subsidiary
then outstanding (not including any such Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted to be incurred pursuant to clauses ‎(1) through
 ‎(24) above) plus Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions,
that would otherwise be subject to the restrictions of ‎Section 5.02 below (not including any such Sale and Leaseback transaction
permitted under paragraph ‎(1) thereof in reliance on an exception set forth in clauses ‎(1) through ‎(24) above
of this ‎Section 5.01) does not at the time such Indebtedness is incurred exceed an amount equal to the greater of $1,500,000,000
and 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

 

    20

     

    

 

(d)            For
the purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Liens described above, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may reclassify, such Lien and only be required to include
the amount and type of such Lien in one of the clauses ‎(1) through ‎(24) of ‎Section 5.01(b) or ‎Section 5.01(c),
and a Lien may be divided and classified and reclassified into more than one of the types of Liens described above.

 

(e)            For
the purposes of this covenant, the creation of a Lien to secure a Guaranty or to secure Indebtedness which existed prior to the creation
of such Lien, will be deemed to involve Indebtedness in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the fair market value (as determined
in good faith by the Company) of the asset subject to such Lien and (y) the principal amount guaranteed or secured by such Lien,
but the amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens will be computed without cumulating the underlying Indebtedness with any guarantee thereof
or lien securing the same.

 

Section 5.02.
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into
any arrangement after the Issue Date with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (other than the Company or another Restricted
Subsidiary) providing for the leasing by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary for a period of more than three years (other than
pursuant to so-called synthetic lease or tax retention operating lease transactions) of any property or assets which (x) at the time
of such lease have been or are to be owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for more than 180 days and (y) have been or
are to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds have
been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such property or assets (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”),
unless either:

 

(1)            the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be entitled, pursuant to ‎Section 5.01, to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien
on such property or assets in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or

 

(2)            the
Company, within 180 days after the sale or transfer, applies or causes a Restricted Subsidiary to apply an amount equal to the greater
of the net proceeds of such sale or transfer or the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such sale and leaseback transaction
(as determined by any two of the following: the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President,
the Treasurer and the Controller of The Company) to the retirement of Notes or other Funded Debt, of the Company (other than Funded Debt
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) or Funded Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the amount to be so applied shall
be reduced by (i) the principal amount of the Notes delivered within 180 days after such sale or transfer to the trustee for retirement
and cancellation, and (ii) the principal amount of any such Funded Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than the
Notes, voluntarily retired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days after such sale or transfer, excluding in the case
of both (i) and (ii), retirement pursuant to any mandatory prepayment or by payment at maturity.

 

    21

     

    

 

Section 5.03.
Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. Within 30 days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Notes,
or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after public announcement thereof, the Company (unless it has exercised
its right to redeem all the Notes) shall make an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date of purchase.

 

Section 5.04.
Events of Default; Acceleration. (a) Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, each of the
following events shall be an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

 

(1)            the
Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Note, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when the same becomes
due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

 

(2)            the
Company defaults in the payment of the principal or any premium with respect to any Note, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect
thereto, when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or redemption, or otherwise;

 

(3)            the
Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant, warranty or agreement of the Company in the Indenture with respect
to the Notes or under the Notes (other than a covenant or warranty included therein solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities
other than the Notes) and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the
Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that it is a “Notice of Default” under the Indenture;

 

(4)            there
occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness (including any Guarantee and any other series of debt securities) of the Company
or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of $225,000,000 or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all
such persons, whether such Indebtedness exists on the date hereof or shall hereafter be created, (a) an event of default that has
caused the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity and such indebtedness shall
not have been discharged in full or such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration and/or
(b) the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not
have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;

 

(5)            the
Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall fail within 60 days to pay, bond or otherwise discharge uninsured judgments or court
orders for the payment of money in excess of $225,000,000 in the aggregate, which are not stayed on appeal or are not otherwise being
appropriately contested in good faith;

 

    22

     

    

 

(6)            an
involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
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 Significant Subsidiary
under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

 

(7)            the
Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents
to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of
the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, in each case, other than a proceeding
initiated by or on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to effect the winding up, dissolution or other termination of
existence of a Subsidiary of the Company which is permitted under Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture (an event of default specified
in clause (6) or (7) a “bankruptcy default”);

 

(b)            Section 6.02
of the Base Indenture shall be amended with respect to the Notes by replacing the first two paragraphs of such section with the following:

 

“If an Event of Default, other than a bankruptcy
default with respect to the Company (but not any Significant Subsidiary of the Company), occurs and is continuing under the Indenture
with respect to the Notes, then, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding,
by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal of and accrued
interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately
due and payable. If a bankruptcy default occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and accrued interest on Notes then outstanding
will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.”

 

Section 5.05.
Modification and Waiver. (a) Article 9 of the Base Indenture, as amended by this ‎Section 5.05, shall apply to
the Notes.

 

(b)            Section 9.01

the Notes (or any other Security outstanding under the Base Indenture), may modify or amend the Indenture in order:

 

(i)            to
add to the covenants of the Company in the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred
upon the Company by the Indenture;

 

(ii)           to

Article 6

Payment of Additional Amounts

 

Section 6.01.
Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Any amounts paid, or caused to be paid, by the Company or any of its successors pursuant
to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture will be paid without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future taxes, levies,
imposts or other governmental charges (“Taxes”) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or on behalf of
Singapore, including any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, or the jurisdiction of incorporation or residence of any successor,
or any Subsidiary, branch, division or other entity through which the Company may from time to time direct any payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (an “Other Jurisdiction”).
If deduction or withholding of any Taxes shall at any time be required by Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, the Company or any relevant
successor will, subject to timely compliance by the Holders or beneficial owners of the relevant Notes with any relevant administrative
requirements, notify the Trustee and pay or cause to be paid such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in respect
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holders of the Notes outstanding
on the date of the required payment or the Trustee as the case may be, pursuant to the Indenture, after the deduction or withholding,
shall equal the respective amounts that the Holder would have received if the Taxes had not been withheld or deducted.

 

    25

     

    

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Additional Amounts shall be paid to any Holder or beneficial owner for or on account of any of the following:

 

(i)            any
present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that the Holder or beneficial
owner of the relevant Note has or had some connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, including that the Holder or beneficial
owner is or has been a domiciliary, national or resident of, engages or has been engaged in a trade or business, is or has been organized
under, maintains or has maintained an office, a branch subject to taxation, or a permanent establishment, or is or has been physically
present in Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, or otherwise has or has had some connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction,
other than solely the holding or ownership of a Note, or the collection of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or the enforcement
of, a Note;

 

(ii)            any
present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that, where presentation
is required, the relevant Note was presented more than 30 days after the date such payment became due or was provided for, whichever is
later;

 

(iii)           any
present or future taxes which are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding on or in respect of the relevant Note;

 

(iv)           any
present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the failure to comply, on a sufficiently
timely basis, with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction of the Holder or beneficial owner of the relevant Note, if such compliance is required
by a statute or regulation or administrative practice of Singapore, the Other Jurisdiction or any other relevant jurisdiction, or by a
relevant treaty, as a condition to relief or exemption from such taxes;

 

(v)           any
present or future Taxes (A) which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected if the beneficial owner of the relevant
Note had been the Holder of such Note, or (B) which, if the beneficial owner of such Note had held the Note as the Holder of such
Note, would have been excluded pursuant to any one or combination of clauses ‎(i) through ‎(iv) above;

 

(vi)          any
capital gain, estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

 

(vii)         any
combination of the above.

The Company promises to pay the principal of this

adjustment as provided below).

 

Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears
on each January 15 and July 15 (to the holders of record of this series of Notes at the close of business on the January 1

The Company must also pay certain Additional Amounts
as specified in the Indenture upon a “Change in Tax Law” as defined in the Indenture.

 

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most

Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer
or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements, transfer
documents, certificates and opinions of counsel and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant
to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Note or certain portions of a Note.

 

		5.	Defaults and Remedies.

 

Other than as set forth below, if an Event of Default,
as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing,
the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

 

		6.	Amendment and Waiver.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and
the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, as provided in the Indenture. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement
the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.
