Exhibit 4.3
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description is a summary of the material terms that are included in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the specific terms and provisions contained in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, copies of which are incorporated by reference to exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and by the provisions of applicable law. We encourage you to read our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws.

Common Stock
Authorized Common Stock.  Our authorized capital stock consists of 6,000,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value.

Authorized But Unissued Capital Stock.  Virginia law does not require shareholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares other than in connection with certain mergers to which we may be a party. However, the NYSE rules require shareholder approval of certain issuances of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of our common stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.

Voting.  The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Approval of an amendment of our articles of incorporation, a merger, a share exchange, a sale of all our property or a dissolution must be approved by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast.

Dividends.  The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions as may be declared by our Board, subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock.

Other Rights.  Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, after payment in full of the amounts required to be paid to holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any, all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive a pro rata distribution of all of our assets and funds legally available for distribution.

No shares of our common stock are subject to redemption or have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock or any of our other securities.

Listing of Common Stock
A primary listing for our common stock is on the NYSE under the trading symbol “PM.” The secondary listing for our common stock is on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the trading symbol “PMI.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar of our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by the shareholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series or classes and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series or class, which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our

Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, the effects might include:
 
												
	 	•	 	restricting dividends on our common stock;

 
												
	 	•	 	diluting the voting power of our common stock;

 
												
	 	•	 	impairing liquidation rights of our common stock; or

 
												
	 	•	 	delaying or preventing a change in control of us without further action by our shareholders.

We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
    
Board of Directors; Removal; Vacancies
Virginia law provides that the Board of Directors of a Virginia corporation shall consist of a number of individuals specified in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws of the corporation or, if not specified in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws, then a number specified in or fixed in accordance with the articles of incorporation of the corporation. We do not have a classified board of directors. All directors are elected annually.
Under Virginia law, our Board of Directors may amend the bylaws from time to time to increase or decrease the number of directors; provided, that any decrease in the number of directors may not shorten any incumbent director’s term or reduce any quorum or voting requirements until the person ceases to be a director.
Under Virginia law, a member of our Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose at which a quorum is present. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove the director.
Our bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring on our Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum.

No Cumulative Voting
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Majority Voting for Directors
The Company’s bylaws provide that, where the number of nominees for director does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a majority rather than by a plurality vote. Under applicable law, a director’s term extends until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Thus, an incumbent director who fails to receive a majority vote would continue to serve as a holdover director. To address that possibility, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require a director who receives less than a majority of the votes cast to offer to resign. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would then consider, and recommend to the Board, whether to accept or reject the offer. In a contested election in which one or more nominees are properly proposed by shareholders, a director-nominee will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in such election.

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals
Our bylaws set forth the procedures a shareholder must follow to nominate directors or to bring other business before shareholder meetings. Our bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, a shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors, or bring other matters, at a meeting only if advance written notice of the shareholder’s nomination has been given, either by personal delivery or certified mail, to and received by, our Corporate Secretary whose address is Avenue de Rhodanie 50, 1007 Lausanne, Switzerland, within such time periods and following such procedures as set forth in the bylaws.

In addition, our bylaws permit an eligible shareholder or group of shareholders who have owned 3% or more of our common stock for at least three years to nominate and include in our proxy statement director candidates to occupy up to 20% of the authorized Board seats.

Business brought before a meeting that does not comply with our by-law provisions will not be transacted.

Special Shareholder Meetings

						
	
		
	Under our bylaws, only our Board of Directors or our chairman may call special meetings of shareholders. 

	 	 

Anti-Takeover Statutes
Affiliated Transactions Statute. Virginia law contains provisions governing affiliated transactions. In general, these provisions prohibit a Virginia corporation from engaging in affiliated transactions with an interested shareholder, which is any holder of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding voting shares, for a period of three years following the date that such person became an interested shareholder, unless:
 
												
	 	•	 	a majority of disinterested directors; and

 
												
	 	•	 	the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares, other than the shares beneficially owned by the interested shareholder, approve the affiliated transaction.

Affiliated transactions subject to this approval requirement include mergers, share exchanges, material dispositions of corporate assets not in the ordinary course of business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed by or on behalf of an interested shareholder or any reclassification, including reverse stock splits, recapitalizations or mergers of the corporation with its subsidiaries, which increases the percentage of voting shares owned beneficially by an interested shareholder by more than 5%.

Control Share Acquisitions Statute. We have opted out of the Virginia anti-takeover law regulating control share acquisitions.Document

This summary is qualified in its entirety by the specific terms and provisions contained in the indenture, dated as of April 25, 2008, between Philip Morris International Inc. and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, under which the notes were issued (the “indenture”).

General
The notes are our direct unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.  The indenture does not limit the amount of debt we may issue under the indenture and provides that additional notes may be issued up to the aggregate principal amount authorized by a board resolution.  We may issue notes from time to time in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a discount or at a premium.
There is no requirement that any other notes that we issue be issued under the indenture.  Thus, any other notes that we issue may be issued under other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those included in the indenture or the applicable prospectus to one or more issues of the notes.
We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes, issue additional notes of a certain series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the notes of such series, except for the public offering price and issue date.  Any additional notes of a series having such similar terms, 
1

together with the applicable series of notes, will constitute a single series of notes under the indenture.  No additional notes of a series may be issued if an event of default has occurred with respect to such series of notes.

Payment of Additional Amounts
Subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, we will pay to the beneficial owner of any note who is a non-United States person (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that every net payment on such note, after deduction or withholding by us or any of our paying agents for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in such note to be then due and payable. However, we will not pay additional amounts if the beneficial owner is subject to taxation solely for reasons other than its ownership of the note, nor will we pay additional amounts for or on account of:

(a)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the existence of any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of being a beneficial owner of a note) between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or person holding a power over such beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate or trust, or a member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is a partnership or corporation) of a note and the United States, including, without limitation, such beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or treated as being or having been a resident thereof;

(b)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or person holding a power over such beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate or trust, or a member or shareholder of the beneficial 
9

owner, if the beneficial owner is a partnership or corporation) (1) being or having been present in, or engaged in a trade or business in, the United States, (2) being treated as having been present in, or engaged in a trade or business in, the United States, or (3) having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

(c)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or person holding a power over such beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate or trust, or a member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is a partnership or corporation) being or having been with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a controlled foreign corporation, a passive foreign investment company or a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization, or being a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(d)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a beneficial owner that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all of our classes of stock that are entitled to vote within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code;

(e)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by us or any paying agent from payments in respect of such note;

(f)    any gift, estate, inheritance, sales, transfer, personal property or excise tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(g)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any note if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(h)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld 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;

(i)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed as a result of the failure of the beneficial owner to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of a note, if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(j)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge 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;

10

(k)    any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code; or

(l)    any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).

In addition, we will not pay additional amounts to a beneficial owner of a note that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to a beneficial owner of a note that is not the sole beneficial owner of such note, as the case may be.  This exception, however, will apply 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 term “beneficial owner” includes any person holding a note on behalf of or for the account of a beneficial owner.
As used herein, the term “non-United States person” means a person that is not a United States person. The term United States person means a citizen or resident of the United States or, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more United States persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, or a trust that existed on August 20, 1996, and elected to continue its treatment as a domestic trust.  “United States” means the United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia), its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico).
Redemption for Tax Reasons
We may redeem a series of notes prior to maturity in whole as specified in the particular prospectus supplement at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption upon the occurrence of events specified in the indenture.  If we exercise our option to redeem a series of notes, we will deliver to the trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that we are entitled to redeem the notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required.
Issuance in Euro
With respect to the euro denominated notes, initial holders were required to pay for the notes in euro, and all payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of the notes, are payable in euro.  If we are unable to obtain euro due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control (including the dissolution of the European Monetary Union) 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 the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used.  In such circumstances, the amount payable on 
11

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 then most recent euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by us in our sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the notes or the indenture governing the notes.  Neither the trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale
Under the indenture, we may not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey or transfer our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person unless:
•the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which we are merged or the person which acquires by conveyance or transfer our properties and assets substantially as an entirety is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any additional amounts payable) on all the notes and the performance of every covenant of the indenture;
•after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default (as defined below) with respect to any series of notes, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, will have happened and be continuing;
•the successor corporation assuming the notes agrees, by supplemental indenture, to indemnify the individuals liable therefor for the amount of United States federal estate tax paid solely as a result of such assumption in respect of notes held by individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States at the time of their death; and
•we deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and the supplemental indenture comply with these provisions.  (Section 801)
The successor corporation will assume all of our obligations under the indenture as if it were an original party to the indenture.  After assuming such obligations, the successor corporation will have all of our rights and powers under the indenture.  (Section 802)
Waivers Under the Indenture
Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all affected series of the outstanding notes (voting as a single class), may on behalf of all holders of such affected series:
•waive our compliance with certain covenants of the indenture; and (Section 1009)
•waive any past default under the indenture, except:
•a default in the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any notes; and
12

•a default with respect to a covenant or provision of the indenture which itself cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each affected note.
(Section 513)
Events of Default
When we use the term “Event of Default” in the indenture with respect to a particular series of notes, we mean any of the following:
•we fail to pay any installment of interest on any note of that series for 30 days after payment was due;
•we fail to make payment of the principal of, or any premium on, any notes of that series when due;
•we fail to make any sinking fund payment when due with respect to notes of that series;
•we fail to perform any other covenant or warranty in respect of any notes of that series contained in the indenture or in such notes or in the applicable board resolution under which such series is issued and this failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of it from the trustee or holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding series of the notes or, with respect to any such covenant or agreement which is not applicable to all series of notes, by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the affected series (in each case voting as a single class);
•we or a court take certain actions relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of our company; or
•any other event of default that may be specified for the notes of the series or in the board resolution with respect to the notes of that series.  (Section 501)

A default with respect to a single series of notes under the indenture will not necessarily constitute a default with respect to any other series of notes issued under the indenture.  A default under our other indebtedness will not be a default under the indenture.  The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of notes of any default, except for defaults that involve our failure to pay principal or any premium or interest, if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders.  (Section 602)
If an Event of Default for any series of notes occurs and continues (other than an Event of Default involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization), either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding series of the notes to which it is applicable or, if such default is not applicable to all series of notes, the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all series to which it is applicable (in each case voting as a single class) may require us upon notice in writing to us, to immediately repay the entire principal of all notes of such series together with accrued interest on the notes.
If an Event of Default occurs which involves our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, then all unpaid principal amounts of all notes of such series together with accrued interest on the notes and 
13

accrued interest on all notes of each series then outstanding will immediately become due and payable, without any action by the trustee or any holder of notes.  (Section 502)
Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of a series may rescind a declaration of acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the failure to pay principal or interest due solely because of the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.  (Section 502)
Other than its duties in case of an Event of Default, the trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable indemnity.  (Section 507) The holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of any series of notes may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any power conferred upon the trustee, for any series of notes.  (Section 512)
The indenture requires us to file each year with the trustee, an officer’s certificate that states that:
•the signing officer has supervised a review of our activities during such year and performance under the indenture; and
•to the best of his or her knowledge, based on the review, we comply with all conditions and covenants of the indenture.  (Section 1005)
A judgment for money damages by courts in the United States, including a money judgment based on an obligation expressed in a foreign currency, will ordinarily be rendered only in U.S. dollars.  New York statutory law provides that a court shall render a judgment or decree in the foreign currency of the underlying obligation and that the judgment or decree shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree.  If a court requires a conversion to be made on a date other than a judgment date, the indenture requires us to pay additional amounts necessary to ensure that the amount paid in U.S. dollars to a holder is equal to the amount due in such foreign currency or currency unit.  (Section 515)
Restrictive Covenants
The indenture includes the following restrictive covenants:
Limitations on Liens
The indenture limits the amount of liens that we or our subsidiaries may incur or otherwise create, in order to secure indebtedness for borrowed money, upon any Principal Facility (as defined below) or any shares of capital stock that any of our subsidiaries owning any Principal Facility has issued to us or any of our subsidiaries.  If we or any of our subsidiaries incur such liens, then we will secure the notes to the same extent and in the same proportion as the debt that is secured by such liens.  This covenant does not apply, however, to any of the following:
14

•in the case of a Principal Facility, liens incurred in connection with the issuance by a state or political subdivision thereof of any securities the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes by virtue of Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other laws or regulations in effect at the time of such issuance;
•liens existing on the date of the indenture;
•liens on property or shares of capital stock existing at the time we or any of our subsidiaries acquire such property or shares of stock (including acquisition through merger, share exchange or consolidation) or securing the payment of all or part of the purchase price, construction or improvement thereof incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction or improvement or commencement of full operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or a portion of such purchase or construction or improvement; or
•liens for the sole purpose of extending, renewing or replacing in whole or in part the indebtedness secured by any lien referred to in the foregoing three bullet points or in this bullet point; provided, however, that the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and/or any of our subsidiaries may create, assume or incur liens that would otherwise be subject to the restriction described above, without securing notes issued under the indenture equally and ratably, if the aggregate value of all outstanding indebtedness secured by the liens plus the value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.  (Section 1007)
Sale and Leaseback Transactions
A Sale and Leaseback Transaction by us or any of our subsidiaries of any Principal Facility is prohibited, unless within 90 days of the effective date of the arrangement, an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased pursuant to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction or the fair value of the property at the time of entering into the Sale and Leaseback Transaction as determined by our board of directors (“value”) is applied by us to the retirement of non-subordinated indebtedness for money borrowed with more than one year stated maturity, including our notes, except that such sales and leasebacks are permitted to the extent that the “value” thereof plus the other secured debt referred to in the last paragraph of the subsection entitled “Restrictive Covenants—Limitations on Liens” does not at the time exceed 15% of our Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.  (Section 1008)
There are no other restrictive covenants in the indenture.
15

Defined Terms
“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the excess over current liabilities of all assets appearing on our most recent quarterly or annual consolidated balance sheet, less goodwill and other intangible assets and the minority interests of others in subsidiaries.  (Section 101)

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the price, expressed as a percentage, at which the gross redemption yield on the applicable series of notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Reference Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Reference Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such dealing day as determined by the Independent Investment Bank.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate notes of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that we appoint as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.

“Principal Facility” means as all real property constituting part of any manufacturing plant or distribution facility owned and operated by us or any subsidiary, together with such manufacturing plant or distribution facility, including all attached plumbing, electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, lighting and other utility systems, ducts and pipes, but excluding trade fixtures, business machinery, equipment, motorized vehicles, tools, supplies and materials, security systems, cameras, inventory and other personal property and materials.  The term Principal Facility shall not include any particular manufacturing plant or distribution facility as of any particular date unless its net book value exceeds 0.75% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.  (Section 1007)
“Reference Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the applicable series of notes, or if we or the Independent Investment Bank considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as we or the Independent Investment Bank, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by us or the Independent Investment Bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
16

“Reference Bond Dealer” means each of the applicable bond dealers for the applicable series of notes as defined in the respective prospectus supplements or their respective affiliates or any other broker of, and/or market maker in, German government bonds, selected by us.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of the institutions identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or their affiliates, which are primary United States government securities dealers and one other leading primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City reasonably designated by us; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 2:00 pm New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Sale and Leaseback Transaction” means the sale or transfer of a Principal Facility with the intention of taking back a lease of the property, except a lease for a temporary period of less than three years, including renewals, with the intent that the use by us or any subsidiary will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such period.  (Section 1008)
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (such price expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
Defeasance
The indenture provides that we may elect either (1) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the notes of a series (except for, among other things, our obligations to register notes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for payments held in trust and to issue temporary notes of that series with respect to such notes) (“legal defeasance”) or (2) to be released from our obligations to comply with the restrictive covenants under the indenture, and any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to any defeased series of notes (“covenant defeasance”).  Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, will be conditioned upon, among other things, the deposit by us with the trustee, in trust, of an amount of cash in the currency or currency unit in which the applicable series of notes is payable, that will generate sufficient cash, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to make interest, principal, premium and any other payments on that series of notes on their due date or redemption date.
    
    We will be required to deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel that the deposit and related defeasance will not cause the holders and beneficial owners of the notes of that series to recognize 
17

income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the legal or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.  If we elect legal defeasance, that opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law to that effect.  (Sections 402-404)
Book-Entry; Delivery and Form; Global Notes
The notes denominated in euro were offered and sold in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof and the notes denominated in U.S. dollars were offered and sold in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The notes of each series were initially represented by one or more fully registered global notes.  Each such global note denominated in euro was deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear.  Each such global note denominated in U.S. dollars was deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC or any successor thereto, as depositary, or Depositary, and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (as nominee of DTC).

Except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees in the case of the notes denominated in euro and only to DTC in the case of the notes denominated in U.S. dollars.  Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for notes in definitive form, no global note denominated in U.S. dollars may be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary.  Investors may elect to hold interests in the global notes denominated in U.S. dollars through either the Depositary (in the United States) or through Clearstream or Euroclear, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems.  Holders of the notes denominated in euro may hold their interests in the global notes in Europe through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems.  Clearstream and Euroclear will hold the applicable interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s or Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries.  Book-entry interests in the notes and all transfers relating to the notes will be reflected in the book-entry records of Clearstream and Euroclear or DTC, as the case may be.
Notices
Notices to holders of the notes will be sent by mail or email to the registered holders and will be published, whether the notes are in global or definitive form, and, so long as the notes of each series are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York.  It is expected that publication will be made in the City of New York in The Wall Street Journal. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.
