 Exhibit 10.1 

Execution Version 

VOTING AGREEMENT 
 THIS
VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of October 20, 2016, by and between the undersigned holder (“Shareholder”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of Island Bancorp,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Company”), and Independent Bank Corp., a Massachusetts corporation (“Buyer”). All capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement
(as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company and Company Bank are
entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Company shall merge with and into Buyer and each outstanding share of Company Common Stock will be
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; 
 WHEREAS, Shareholder individually or jointly owns with his or her
spouse, or is the trustee or co-trustee with his or her spouse of a trust that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, or has sole or joint voting power with his or her spouse with respect to, that number of
shares of Company Common Stock identified on Exhibit A (such shares, together with all shares of Company Common Stock subsequently acquired during the term of this Agreement by Shareholder individually or jointly with his or her spouse or by
a trust where Shareholder is the trustee or co-trustee with his or her spouse, being referred to as the “Shares”); and 

WHEREAS, it is a material inducement to the willingness of Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and
deliver this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a material inducement to, Buyer entering into the Merger
Agreement and proceeding with the transactions it contemplates, and in consideration of the expenses incurred or to be incurred by Buyer, Shareholder and Buyer agree as follows: 

Section 1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that, while this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of shareholders of
Company, however called, or at any adjournment of the shareholders meeting, or in any other circumstances in which Shareholder is entitled to vote, consent, or give any other approval, except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by Buyer,
Shareholder shall: 
  

	 	(a)	appear at each such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum; and 

  
 1 

	 	(b)	vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions it contemplates (including any amendments or modifications of the
Merger Agreement); (ii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation, or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Company contained in the Merger Agreement or of
Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement, or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone,
discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 

 Shareholder further
agrees not to vote or execute any written consent to rescind or amend in any manner any prior vote or written consent, as a shareholder of Company, to approve or adopt the Merger Agreement unless the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with
its terms. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, the obligations of Shareholder specified in this Section 1 shall apply whether or not the Merger or any action described above is recommended by the board of directors of Company or otherwise
subject to a Change in Recommendation. 
 Section 2. No Transfers. While this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder agrees not to,
directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract option, commitment, or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any
of the Shares, except the following transfers shall be permitted: (a) transfers by will or operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee; (b) transfers in connection with bona fide estate and tax planning purposes,
including transfers to relatives, trusts, and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and (c) such other transfers as Buyer may otherwise permit in its sole discretion,
subject to any restrictions or conditions imposed by Buyer in its sole discretion. Any transfer or other disposition in violation of the terms of this Section 2 shall be null and void. 

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to and agrees with Buyer as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	Shareholder has all requisite capacity and authority to enter into and perform his, her, or its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable
against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles. 

  
 2 

	 	(c)	The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her, or its obligations and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, contract, or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is
bound, or any statute, rule, or regulation to which Shareholder is subject or, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity, any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder.

  

	 	(d)	Shareholder is the direct owner or joint owner with his or her spouse of, or is the trustee or co-trustee with his or her spouse of a trust that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners
of, and have good title to all of the Shares set forth on Exhibit A, and the Shares are so owned free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances, except as otherwise described on Exhibit
A. Shareholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of Company other than the Shares. Except for shares of capital stock of Company held in a trust for which Shareholder is the trustee or co-trustee with his
or her spouse, the Shares do not include shares over which Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity and no representation or agreement by Shareholder is made with respect to them. Shareholder has the right to vote the Shares, and none
of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement, or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement. 

 

	 	(e)	Shareholder does not beneficially own any stock option or other equity award, warrant, convertible subordinated debentures, or similar instrument to acquire shares of Company Common Stock. 

Section 4. Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder does appoint
Buyer with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the full extent of Shareholder’s rights with respect to the Shares, to vote, if Shareholder is unable to perform
his, her, or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares that Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 at any meeting of the shareholders of Company, and at any adjournment or
postponement of a shareholders meeting, and in connection with any action of the shareholders of Company taken by written consent. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest until the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to the terms of Section 7 and revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the
termination of this Agreement. 

  
 3 

 Section 5. No Solicitation. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under
Section 5.09 of the Merger Agreement, from and after the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7, Shareholder, solely in his, her, or its capacity as a shareholder of Company and not as a
director or fiduciary, shall not, nor shall such Shareholder authorize any partner, officer, director, advisor or representative of, such Shareholder or any of his, her, or its affiliates to (and, to the extent applicable to Shareholder, the
Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any of his, her, or its representatives or affiliates to), (a) solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiry with respect to, or the making of, any proposal that constitutes or could
reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal with, or furnish any nonpublic information relating to an Acquisition Proposal to, any person that has
made or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, is considering making an Acquisition Proposal; (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, or similar arrangement with respect to an Acquisition
Proposal; (d) solicit proxies or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action that would reasonably be expected to compete with, restrain, or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the
timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of Company’s shareholders with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; or (f) except by reason of
this Agreement, become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of Company that takes any action in support of an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger
Agreement). 
 Section 6. Specific Performance; Remedies. Shareholder acknowledges that it is a condition to the willingness of Buyer
to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement and that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages to Buyer if Shareholder fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in
the event of any such failure, Buyer will not have an adequate remedy at law or in equity. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the
granting of such relief on the basis that Buyer has an adequate remedy at law. Shareholder further agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with Buyer’s
seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. In addition, after discussing the matter with Shareholder, Buyer shall have the right to inform any third party that Buyer reasonably believes to be, or to be contemplating, participating with Shareholder
or receiving from Shareholder assistance in violation of this Agreement, of the terms of this Agreement and of the rights of Buyer hereunder, and that participation by any third party with Shareholder in activities in violation of Shareholder’s
agreement with Buyer set forth in this Agreement may give rise to claims by Buyer against such third party. 
 Section 7. Term of
Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date it is signed by the parties. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the written
consent of the parties, and shall be automatically terminated in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the transfer restrictions in Section 2 shall be automatically terminated upon
the receipt of the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities; provided, however, that termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of
this Agreement prior to termination. 
 Section 8. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements,
written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to that subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no
provisions may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party. No waiver of any provisions by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof by any party, nor shall any waiver be deemed a
continuing waiver of any provision by a party. 

  
 4 

 Section 10. Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement
shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall
use their reasonable efforts to substitute a valid, legal, and enforceable provision which, insofar as practical, implements the purposes and intention of this Agreement. 

Section 11. Capacity as Shareholder. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in his, her, or its capacity as a shareholder of
Company and it shall not apply in any manner to Shareholder in his or her capacity as a director, officer, or employee of Company or in any other capacity. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, the
obligations of Shareholder to comply with his or her fiduciary duties as a director of Company, and none of the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or prevent any director or executive officer from exercising his or her fiduciary
obligations in the context of a Superior Proposal pursuant to Sections 5.04 or 5.09 of the Merger Agreement.
 Section 12. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for conflict of law. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts having jurisdiction over any dispute arising under this Agreement. 
 Section 13. WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO
THIS AGREEMENT (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13. 

  
 5 

 Section 14. Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Further Assurances. Provided that the Merger is
consummated in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, that the consideration offered pursuant to the Merger is not less than that specified in the Merger Agreement, and that this Agreement has not been terminated, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, Shareholder waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or demand fair value for its Shares in connection with the Merger that Shareholder may have under applicable law. At any time prior to the termination
of this Agreement, at the Buyer’s request and without further consideration, Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the actions and
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Shareholder further agrees not to, prior to the termination of this Agreement, commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with
respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company, Company Bank, or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution, or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation
of the Merger. 
 Section 15. Disclosure. Shareholder authorizes Company and Buyer to publish and disclose in any announcement or
disclosure required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Proxy Statement-Prospectus such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

 BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY, a New Jersey corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK DEPOSITORY (NOMINEES) LIMITED, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as common depositary
for Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of €500,000,000 on December 15, 2022 and to pay interest, on
December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2017, on said principal sum at the rate of 1.000% per annum, from December 9, 2016 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, as the case may
be, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for.
 The interest so payable on any December 15 shall, subject
to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment
date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid (or from December 9, 2016,
if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market

 
Association. If any interest payment date is not a Business Day, payment of interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed
payment on amounts payable from and after such interest payment date to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 “Business Day” means
any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in the City of New York or London and on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross
Settlement Express Transfer system (the TARGET2 system), or any successor thereto, operates. 
 Payment of the principal of and interest on
this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of London, England, which shall be initially the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, located at One Canada
Square, London E14 5AL. 
 All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of this Note, will be made in
euro; provided, that if on or after December 1, 2016, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then
member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note will
be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the
second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business
Day prior to the relevant payment date, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of this Note so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series or under the
Indenture governing the Notes. 
 “euro” and “€” means the lawful currency of the member states of the European
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency. 
 Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 This Note
shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof.

BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY 

1.000% Notes due December 15, 2022 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 1, 1997 (as amended or supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered
by the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities. The Securities may be
issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may
be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 1.000% Notes due December 15, 2022 (the “Notes”) limited in
aggregate principal amount to €500,000,000 (except as in the Indenture provided), issued in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company may, from time to time, without the
consent of the existing holders of the Notes, issue additional notes under the Indenture having the same terms as the Notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the initial interest payment date. Any such additional notes
shall be consolidated with and form a single series with the Notes. Terms defined in the Indenture have the same definitions herein unless otherwise specified. The Notes are governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will act as Paying Agent. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. will initially
act as Registrar for the Notes. The Company may change any Paying Agent upon notice to the Trustee. 
 In case an Event of Default, as
defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof and interest hereon may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject
to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
 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 any series at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of such series, each affected series voting separately. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf
of the holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on 

  
 -5- 

 
behalf of the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 
 Subject to
the terms of the Indenture, the Company may elect either (i) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the Notes or (ii) to be released from its obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable to the Notes,
upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the
rate and in the coin or currency prescribed herein. 
 The Notes are redeemable as a whole or in part at the option of the Company at any
time prior to November 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the notes being redeemed,
discounting such payments to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the
principal balance of the Notes being redeemed. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price. 
 The Notes
are redeemable, as a whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time on or after November 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption on the principal balance of the Notes being redeemed. 
 For the purposes hereof: 

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the yield to maturity, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with
0.0005 being rounded upwards), on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such Business Day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company. 
 “Comparable Government Bond” means,
in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German federal government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes to be redeemed, or
if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German federal government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in,
German federal government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 

  
 -6- 

 “Remaining Scheduled Payments,” means, with respect to each Note, the remaining
scheduled payments of the principal and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such
Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. 

Notice of any redemption described above shall be mailed or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream to each holder of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the redemption date. On and after any redemption date, the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for
redemption shall stop accruing interest. On or before any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or the Trustee money sufficient to pay the accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed and their redemption price. If less
than all of the Notes are redeemed, such Notes should be redeemed pursuant to applicable Depositary procedures or by such method as the Paying Agent shall deem fair and appropriate in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and
Clearstream and may provide for selection for redemption of portions (equal to €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such Note of a denomination larger than €100,000. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described
above, each holder of outstanding Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of that holder’s Notes (in integral multiples of €1,000) (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to
101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date. For purposes hereof: 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: 

(i) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a
series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”))) other than to the Company or one of its subsidiaries; 
 (ii) the consummation of any transaction
(including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined
in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; 

(iii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company,
in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is 

  
 -7- 

 
converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such
transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to the transaction; or 

(iv) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be considered to be a Change of Control if: (a) the Company becomes a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(x) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting
Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (y) immediately following that transaction, no Person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the two Rating Agencies on any
date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the date of the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of that Change of
Control (which Trigger Period shall be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings downgrade). Unless the two Rating Agencies
are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes shall be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by the two Rating Agencies during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Change of Control Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated or (ii) any reduction in rating if the Rating Agencies
making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance
comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, a Change of Control (whether or not the Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the reduction in rating). In no event shall the Trustee be charged with the responsibility of
monitoring the Company’s ratings. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent
under any successor rating category of Moody’s); and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P) or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or
Rating Agencies selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agency.” 
 “Moody’s” means
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors. 
 “Person” means any
individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, limited liability company or government or other entity.

 “Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if any of
Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the Company may appoint a replacement for that Rating
Agency. 
 “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings and its successors. 

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of that Person that is at the time entitled to vote
generally in the election of the board of directors of that Person. 
 Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control
Triggering Event has occurred, or at the Company’ s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream, a notice to each holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. The notice shall describe the transaction or transactions constituting the Change of Control
Triggering Event and offer to repurchase the Notes on the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is sent, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”). If the notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, it shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment
Date. 
 If holders of Notes elect to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, they must surrender their Notes, with the
form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of this Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Trustee by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable
procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., London time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment
Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent or the Trustee an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered. 

The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Note, but in that event the principal amount of
such Note remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted. The Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to each
holder of the Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder of the Notes a new Note equal in principal amount to
any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. 

  
 -9- 

 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such
an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and that third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions herein, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions herein
by virtue of such conflicts. 
 Upon the presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company
designated for such purpose pursuant to the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the
Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee or any Note registrar, co-registrar, paying agent or authenticating agent, may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or an account hereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company, the Trustee and any Note registrar,
co-registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Additional Amounts 

The Company shall, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts
as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or a Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a holder who is not a United States Person, after withholding or deduction solely with respect to any present or future
tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation
to pay additional amounts will not apply:

member or shareholder of the holder, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being treated as: 

  

	 	•	 	being or having been present in, or engaged in a trade or business in, the United States, or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States; 

 

	 	•	 	 having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result

successor provision; 

  

	 	•	 	to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect
to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company 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; 

  

	 	•	 	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting
requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority
therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

 

	 	•	 	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a Paying Agent from the payment; 

 

	 	•	 	to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

  

	 	•	 	 to any tax assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted that is imposed on a
payment pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 

  
 -11- 

	 	 
of the Code (or any amended or successor version of such sections that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, or any other official interpretations thereof (collectively, “FATCA”), any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in
any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA; 

  

	 	•	 	any tax assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after
the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

  

	 	•	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the failure of the beneficial owner to fulfill the statement requirements of section 871(h) or section 881(c) of the Code; 

 

	 	•	 	any tax imposed pursuant to section 871(h)(6) or section 881(c)(6) of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions); or
