An Authentication Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. The Trustee hereby initially appoints Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., who accepts such appointment, as its Authentication Agent. The Issuer confirms that such appointment is acceptable to it.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange (the “Transfer Agent”) or payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional transfer and paying agents. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Transfer Agent” include any additional paying agent or transfer agent, as applicable, and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer, the Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent.

Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by this Indenture. The Issuer will not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record date and prior to the relevant interest payment date. The Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.

(b) The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, in London, who accepts such appointment, as principal Paying Agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”). The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, in London, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., in Luxembourg, who each accept such appointments, as Transfer Agents. The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank

23

Luxembourg S.A., in Luxembourg, who accepts such appointment, as Registrar. Each time the register is amended or updated, the Registrar shall send a copy of the register to the Issuer who will keep an updated copy of the register at its registered office (the “Duplicate Register”). In the event of inconsistency between the register and the Duplicate Register, the Duplicate Register shall, for purposes of Luxembourg law, prevail.

(c) Any Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and Issuer. The Trustee or Issuer may (without prior notice to the Holders) remove any Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to such Agent (and to the Issuer or Trustee, as applicable). Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee, or to a reputable financial institution of good standing appointed by the Agent as successor Agent (subject to the Issuer’s approval), or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The reasonable costs and expenses (including its counsels’ reasonable fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation and delivery of funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07. In addition, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer shall publish notice of the change in Agent in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).

SECTION 2.04. Deposits of Money; Paying Agent To Hold Money. Prior to 5:00 p.m., London time, one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with the relevant Paying Agent(s) (or if the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of Holders entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing (and each Paying Agent party to this Indenture agrees) that the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall hold as agent, and not as trustee, all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. If the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly

24

Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.04 by the designated Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Upon complying with this Section, the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, each Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and Trustee for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the due dates set forth in this Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.05. Lists of Holders of Notes. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If neither the Trustee nor an Affiliate of the Trustee is the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only in compliance with Appendix A and upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a Transfer Agent with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a Transfer Agent with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

(b) To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record date and prior to the relevant interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to paragraph 2 of the Notes) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

25

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same Indebtedness and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or at the office of a Transfer Agent or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional Obligation of the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 11.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or the Company or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If one or more Paying Agents hold (or, if the Issuer, the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust), in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and are not prohibited from paying such money to the relevant Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

26

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. Each Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, replacement, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Issuer upon request. The Trustee shall retain all canceled securities in accordance with its standard procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly give notice to each Holder that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.12. Common Codes and ISINs. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use Common Codes and ISINs (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use Common Codes and ISINs in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice (including a notice of redemption) and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice or notice of redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the Common Codes or ISINs.

SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. After the Closing Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance, at the time of and after giving effect to such issuance, with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Closing Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price; provided that any such Additional Notes will be treated, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, as fungible with the Notes, or shall be issued with a different Common Code and ISIN for such Additional Notes. All the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes) shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including in respect of any amendment, waiver, other modification or optional redemption by the Issuer.

27

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee (along with a copy of the resolutions of the board of directors of the Issuer authorizing the Additional Notes), the following information:

SECTION 2.14. Agents Interest.

(a) The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several.

(b) The Issuer and the Paying Agent acknowledge and agree that during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to each of the Issuer and the Paying Agent, require that the Paying Agent act as agent of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee.

(c) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to deal with money paid to it by the Issuer for the purposes of this Indenture in the same manner as other money paid to a banker by its customers and shall not be liable for any interest earned thereon.

(d) The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer and shall have no fiduciary or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust, for or with any Person other than the Issuer.

(e) In the event that instructions given to any Agent are not reasonably clear, then such Agent shall be entitled to seek clarification from the Issuer or other party entitled to give such Agent instructions under this Indenture by written request promptly and in any event within one Business Day of receipt by such Agent of such instructions. If an Agent has sought clarification in accordance with this Section 2.14(e), then such Agent shall be entitled to take no action until such clarification is provided, and shall not incur any liability for not taking any action pending receipt of such clarification.

(f) Each Agent shall be obliged to perform only those acts and duties as specifically set out in this Indenture and the Notes, and no other acts, covenants, obligations or duties shall be implied or read into this Indenture or the Notes against any of the Agents.

(g) In no event shall the Agents be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes,

28

work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Agents shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraphs 6 or 7 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price, the ISIN numbers and Common Codes and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Issuer shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 30 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of such redemption being given to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect unless the Trustee has sent the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 below.

In the case of a redemption provided for by paragraph 7 of the Notes, prior to the publication or delivery of any notice of redemption of any series of Notes pursuant to such paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, as the case may be, cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees by taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an opinion of counsel of independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that such Issuer or Note Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations or the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations. The Trustee shall accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. Any such notice may be canceled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of such redemption being given to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by such other method (including by pool factor) as required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Notes that have denominations larger than €100,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of €100,000 or a whole multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this

29

Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Issuer, or the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer), shall give notice to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu), and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer shall notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note (but subject to the newspaper publication requirement described in this Section 3.03, to the extent applicable), where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Note in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the depositary for such Note (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such depositary. Any notice of redemption may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

30

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.01 requests that the Trustee give such notice and attaches a form of such notice setting forth the information to be stated therein as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given to Holders, Notes called for redemption shall, subject to any condition precedent set forth in such notice, become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to a Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the relevant Paying Agent(s) (or, if the Issuer, the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. Interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on and after the date the Issuer has deposited with the relevant Paying Agent(s) funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed, unless such Paying Agent(s) is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, each Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by such Paying Agent and Trustee for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the date set forth in this Section 3.05.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered, or such amount shall be transferred by book-entry.

Covenants

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports and Rule 144A Information. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as the Company is a Note Guarantor, the Company shall file with the SEC and provide the Trustee and Holders and prospective Holders (upon request) within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, promptly upon their becoming available, copies of the annual report to shareholders and any other information provided by the Company to its public shareholders generally. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee hereunder is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such does not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates or certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.13). In addition, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to prospective purchasers of the Notes, upon written request, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has filed the reports and information referred to in this Section 4.02 with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto) and such reports and information are publicly available, then the Company and the Issuer will be deemed to have provided and furnished such reports and information to the Trustee and the Holders in satisfaction of the requirements to “provide” and “furnish” such applicable reports or information as set forth in this Section 4.02.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Issuer shall give notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”), stating:

The notice of the Change of Control Offer, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will 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.

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and

33

purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if the Notes have been or are called for redemption by the Issuer prior to it being required to deliver notice of the Change of Control Offer, and thereafter redeems all Notes called for redemption in accordance with the terms set forth in the redemption notice for such redemption.

(d) (1) If and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer shall publish notices relating to the Change of Control Offer in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).

(e) On the Change of Control Payment Date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.

SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any Principal Property or Capital Stock of a Manufacturing Subsidiary, whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, which Initial Lien secures any Indebtedness for borrowed money, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any

34

Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property owned on the Closing Date unless:

SECTION 4.11. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall cause (i) each Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or of any Subsidiary Guarantor (provided, however, that the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness of the Company and of such Subsidiary Guarantors, in the aggregate, exceeds $100,000,000), and (ii) each Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that Guarantees any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuer, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Notes and, if applicable, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form set forth in Exhibit 3 hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall Guarantee payment of the Notes. Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited (x) to an amount not to exceed the

35

maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by that Subsidiary Guarantor, without (A) rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or (B) subjecting any officers or directors of the Subsidiary Guarantor to a material risk of personal liability, and (y) by applicable corporate benefit or similar laws.

SECTION 4.12. Fall Away of Future Subsidiary Guarantors Covenant. (a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:

the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.11. In addition, upon and following the Suspension Date, the Issuer may elect to suspend the Subsidiary Guarantees.

(b) In the event that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to Section 4.11 for any period of time as a result of the foregoing and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) both (1) one or more of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating resulting in the Notes no longer having an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and (2) the terms of any other debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then outstanding include a future subsidiary guarantors covenant (that is substantially the same as Section 4.11) that was previously suspended and that has become applicable upon a substantially concurrent reversion as a result of substantially the same ratings withdrawal or downgrade with respect to such debt securities (provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of such debt securities exceeds $100,000,000), then the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) shall thereafter again be subject to Section 4.11 with respect to future events and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be reinstated (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the “Future Subsidiary Guarantors” covenant in each of the 2015 Euro Indenture, the 2016 Indenture, the 2017 Indenture, the 2020 Indenture, the 2021 April Indentures and the 2021 May Indentures is substantially the same as Section 4.11). The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period”.

(c) Notwithstanding that Section 4.11 may be reinstated, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with Section 4.11 during the Suspension Period.

(d) The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date and of any election made pursuant to this Section 4.12; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 4.12 or the Company’s rights hereunder.

SECTION 4.13. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer or the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer a certificate signed by a Financial Officer stating (i) that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made with a view to determining whether the Company, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors have fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture and (ii) that, to the knowledge of such Financial Officer, no Default or Event of Default occurred during such period (or, if a Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default hereunder of which such Financial Officer may have knowledge and what action the Issuer has taken, is taking and/or proposes to take with respect thereto).

The Trustee may assume without inquiry, in the absence of actual knowledge, that each of the Issuer and the Company is duly complying with its obligations contained in this Indenture required to be observed and performed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event that would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

SECTION 4.14. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.15. Maintenance of Listing. Each of the Company and the Issuer shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market for so long as such Notes are outstanding; provided, however, that if at any time the Company or the Issuer determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will obtain prior to the delisting of the Notes from the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market, and thereafter use its reasonable efforts to maintain, a listing of such Notes on another internationally recognized stock exchange.

SECTION 4.16. Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Note Guarantors under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of The Netherlands or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or within any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (or any successor Person) is, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing

37

Jurisdiction, or if a Holder actually pays such Taxes where the Issuer or the Note Guarantor failed to withhold or deduct Taxes required to be held or deducted, from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor, as applicable, will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holders (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (including any Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the Holders would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to (1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection (for the avoidance of doubt, including the ownership of shares in the Issuer) between the relevant Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of such Note); (2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (3) any withholding or deduction that is imposed on any payment arising from FATCA; (4) any Taxes withheld or deducted that could have been avoided by satisfying any statutory requirements or by making a declaration of non-resident or other claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority; or (5) any Taxes that are levied under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021) as a result of a Holder being affiliated to the Issuer (within the meaning of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021); nor will the Issuer or any Note Guarantor pay Additional Amounts (a) if the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Note for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period), or (b) with respect to any payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on such Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note.

If the Issuer is, in respect of any payment with respect to the Notes, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges, including any withholding or deduction that is imposed on any payment arising from FATCA, it shall give notice of that fact to the Trustee and each Paying Agent promptly upon becoming aware of the requirement to make the withholding or deduction and shall give to the Trustee and each Paying Agent such information as it may reasonably require to enable it to comply with the requirement.

(c) If an Officer of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or

38

with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent(s) to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. Upon request, the Issuer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor shall also provide the Trustee with official receipts or other documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context:

(e) The Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, excluding such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside of the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors, or the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of any successor of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, or any jurisdiction in which a Paying Agent is located, and the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall agree to indemnify the Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders.

(f) The obligations described in this Section shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

ARTICLE 6

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

42

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether such Event of Default is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

43

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under Section 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9) or 6.01(10) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the default and the Company, the Issuer or the Subsidiary, as applicable, does not cure such default within any applicable time specified in Section 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9) or 6.01(10) hereof after receipt of such notice.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(6) or 6.01(10) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under Section 6.01(4), 6.01(5) or 6.01(9), its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) with respect to the Company or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) with respect to the Company or the Issuer occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of

44

Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), subject to Section 7.01, or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Subject to Section 7.01, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, including by way of pre-funding, which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

45

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not a Holder’s actions are unduly prejudicial to other Holders).

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuer.

46

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer or the Company shall deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 6.13. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

ARTICLE 7

Trustee

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

47

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful default, except that:

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected from acting or refraining from acting, upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee may, if it sees fit, make such inquiry without incurring liability.

48

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful default or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel or other professional advisers, and the advice or opinion of counsel (but not any other professional advisers) with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes, including any Opinion of Counsel, shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel, including any Opinion of Counsel.

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

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions, or agreements on the part of the Issuer, except as otherwise set forth herein, but the Trustee may require of the Issuer full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein.

(h) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful default.

(i) Except for a default under Sections 6.01(1) or (2) hereof, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer shall have received from the Issuer or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding written notice thereof at its address set forth in Section 11.02 hereof, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. In the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Default or Event of Default exists.

(j) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

49

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and each Agent.

(l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10.

(b) The Trustee shall be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign as Trustee.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or the Offering Memorandum or in any other document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall mail or deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06. [Reserved].

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer or the Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time reasonable compensation for their services as shall be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee and Agents, as applicable. The Trustee’s and Agents’ compensation shall not be

50

limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by them, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for their services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and Agents’ agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee and Agents, their agents, representatives, officers, directors, employees and attorneys against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and Agents’ counsel) incurred by them in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their rights or powers hereunder. Such indemnified party shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by such indemnified party to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. Upon notice to the indemnified party, the Issuer may defend the claim and such indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation in such defense. Such indemnified party may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if the Issuer assumes such defense unless there is a conflict of interest between the Issuer and such indemnified party in connection with such defense as determined by such indemnified party in consultation with counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or Agents through the Trustee’s or Agents’ own willful default, negligence or fraud.

In no event shall the Trustee or any Agent be responsible or liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind (including, without limitation, loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of any kind) of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, even if advised of it in advance and even if foreseeable and regardless of the form of action.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee and Agents shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or Agents other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and Agents and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee and Agents incur expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

51

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

ARTICLE 8

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) When (1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof and, in the case of clause (2), the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes, including premium, if any, and interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture with respect to any Notes (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) the obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15 and 5.01 and the operation of Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9) and 6.01(10) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6), 6.01(9) and 6.01(10). In the event that the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

53

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive.

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

54

Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, as the case may be, through the relevant Paying Agent(s) and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuer. The Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

55

SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited European Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such European Government Obligations.

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) is unable to apply any cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and each Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and each Note Guarantee with respect to such Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s) is permitted to apply all such cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent(s).

ARTICLE 9

Amendments

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder:

56

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any consent of any Holder to amend or supplement this Indenture in any manner that does not relate to the Notes.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture hereto pursuant to which a Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as contemplated by Section 4.11 or the penultimate sentence of Section 10.06.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. (a) The Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for such Notes). Any existing Default or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class, subject to the restrictions of Section 6.04

57

and this Section 9.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not:

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

58

The Issuer or the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer, the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.05. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 9.06. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE 10

Guarantees

SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor, jointly with the other Note Guarantors and severally.

59

Each of the Note Guarantors further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any such Guaranteed Obligation. Each of the Note Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar formalities.

(b) Each of the Note Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any security held for the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Trustee or any Holder in favor of the Company.

(c) Except for (x) termination of a Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (y) suspension of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.12 or (z) a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.06, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Note Guarantor under this Indenture; (iii) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Note Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Note Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Note Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor. The Trustee may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Issuer or any Note Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Note Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations of such Note Guarantor have been fully and

60

indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Note Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Note Guarantor against the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor, as the case may be.

(e) Each of the Note Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation of such Note Guarantor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, any other Note Guarantor or otherwise.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Note Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, transferees and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Note Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Note Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Note Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.06. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Article 10 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07):

61

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.06, the Company, at its option, may cause any Subsidiary of the Company to become a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes, and if such Subsidiary is not otherwise required under this Indenture to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee, the Company, at its option, may cause any such Subsidiary Guarantee to be released, subject to applicable law.

At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any release pursuant to this Section 10.06).

SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each Note Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Note Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Note Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Note Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Each of the Issuer, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any Agent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph by notice to the others may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Any notice or communication mailed to a Holder shall be mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so mailed within the time prescribed.

For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. So long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant notes shall also be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu), and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer shall notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Note in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the depositary for such Note (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such depositary.

Failure to deliver a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is delivered in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

In no event, shall Agents be liable for any losses arising from Agents receiving and acting on any instructions from the Issuer or Note Guarantor via any non-secure method of transmission or communication, including, without limitation, by facsimile or email.

64

SECTION 11.03. [Reserved].

SECTION 11.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee:

SECTION 11.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate (other than a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.13) or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture shall include:

SECTION 11.06. When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

65

SECTION 11.07. Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders. Each Agent may make reasonable rules for its functions.

SECTION 11.08. Business Day. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver; Submission to Jurisdiction; Service. (a) This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

(b) EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ISSUER, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(c) The Trustee, the Company, the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in The Borough of Manhattan, City of New York in relation to any legal action or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

(d) The Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor appoint the Company as its agent for service of process in any such action or proceeding.

SECTION 11.10. Judgment Currency. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in euros (the “Required Currency”) which is made to or for the account of any Holder or the Trustee in lawful currency of any other jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the Company’s, the Issuer’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation under this Indenture and the Notes, as the case may be, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency which such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased

66

is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, under this Indenture or the Notes, the Company, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss sustained by such recipient as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Indenture, the Notes or any judgment or order. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is greater than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, under this Indenture or the Notes, such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall return the amount of any excess to the Company, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 11.11. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or this Indenture or of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

SECTION 11.12. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 11.13. Multiple Originals; Electronic Signatures. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture by manual signature, which may be provided by facsimile or electronically, with PDF. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes.

This Indenture shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original

67

manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

SECTION 11.14. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 11.15. Information Requirements. If:

(a) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the date of this Indenture; or

(b) any change in the status of the Issuer or the composition of the shareholders of the Issuer after the date of this Indenture,

obliges the Paying Agent or the Registrar to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Issuer shall as soon as reasonably practicable upon the request of the Paying Agent or the Registrar supply or procure the supply of such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Registrar in order for the Paying Agent or Registrar to carry out and be satisfied that it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by Euroclear or Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream and their respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices thereof governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Registered Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Registered Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Registered Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met, provided, however, that the Definitive Registered Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(i) if such Definitive Registered Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note); or

(ii) if such Definitive Registered Notes are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note); or

(ii) written instructions directing the Registrar to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by

the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the account to be credited with such increase; then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Registered Note and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Registered Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Registered Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Notes have not been previously exchanged for Definitive Registered Notes pursuant to Section 2.4, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee or an Authentication Agent shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the applicable rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of a certification in the form provided in Exhibit 2 from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S.

GOODYEAR EUROPE B.V., a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from September 28, 2021 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on February 14 or August 14 next preceding the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, in euros. Principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, on Global Notes will be payable at the specified office or agency of the relevant Paying Agent(s); provided, that all such payments with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of or held by a nominee of Euroclear and/or Clearstream will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Holder or Holders thereof.

Principal, interest, Additional Amounts and premium, if any, on any Definitive Registered Notes will be payable at the specified office or agency of one or more Paying Agents maintained for such purposes. In addition, interest on the Definitive Registered Notes may be paid by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the register for the Definitive Registered Notes.

If the due date for any payment in respect of any Note is not a Business Day at the place in which such payment is due to be paid, the Holder thereof will not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place, and will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay.

Initially, Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. will act as Registrar and Transfer Agent in Luxembourg, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will act as

Transfer Agent and Principal Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar upon written notice to such Agent and to the Trustee, without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer, the Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 28, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as Registrar and Transfer Agent.

Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.11 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes. In addition, upon and following the Suspension Date, the Issuer may elect to suspend the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes. Upon and following any Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) shall again be subject to Section 4.11 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes with respect to future events and the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes shall be reinstated.

The payment by the Issuer of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by each Note Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Indenture. The precise terms of the Note Guarantee of the Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Note Guarantors with respect to the Notes are expressly set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture.

Except as set forth below in this paragraph 6 and paragraph 7, the Issuer will not be entitled to redeem the Notes.

On and after August 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below:

In addition, prior to August 15, 2024, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 102.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after giving effect to any such redemption and (2) any such redemption by the Issuer is made within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering and is made in accordance with certain procedures set forth in the Indenture.

In addition, prior to August 15, 2024, the Issuer may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any redemption date, the greater of (1) 1.00% of the principal amount of such Note and (2) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such Note on August 15, 2024 (such redemption price being set forth in the applicable table appearing above under the caption “Optional Redemption”), plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through August 15, 2024 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Bund Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Note on such redemption date, in each case calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such

3

person as the Issuer shall designate. For the avoidance of doubt, calculation of the Applicable Premium shall not be an obligation or duty of the Trustee, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent.

“Bund Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bunds or Bundesanleihen) with a constant maturity (as officially compiled and published in the most recent financial statistics that have become publicly available at least two Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) prior to the redemption date (or, if such financial statistics are not so published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Issuer in good faith)) most nearly equal to the period from such redemption date to August 15, 2024; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to August 15, 2024 is not equal to the constant maturity of the direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany for which a weekly average yield is given, the Bund Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to August 15, 2024 is less than a year, the weekly average yield on actually traded direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

The Issuer is entitled to redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time as a whole but not in part, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event the Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of:

(a) a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or

(b) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations,

which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after September 21, 2021 (or, if a jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date, after the date on which such jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture) and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, individually or together (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable).

4

Before the Issuer publishes or gives notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Issuer will also deliver an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations or the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations. The Trustee will accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

The Issuer is required to make all payments under or with respect to the Notes free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes in accordance with Section 4.16 of the Indenture.

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Issuer, or the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer), shall give notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to Euroclear or Clearstream for communication to entitled account holders. Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with one or more Paying Agents on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Professional Segment of the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, any such notice to the Holders of the relevant Notes shall also be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post such notice on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu), and, in connection with any redemption, the Issuer will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any change in the principal amount of Notes outstanding.

5

Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, any Holder of Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuer to purchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

The Notes are in registered form without interest coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer will not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Notes during the period after the relevant record date and prior to the relevant interest payment date.

Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the relevant Paying Agent(s) shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and such Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture with respect to the Notes if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee cash in euro or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, for the payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

6

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class and (ii) any existing Default or compliance with any provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without notice to or consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; (ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under the Indenture in compliance with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Note Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted under the Indenture; (v) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Issuer in the Indenture; (vi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes in any material respect, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; (vii) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that (A) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and (B) such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; (viii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; (ix) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge as security for the Notes any property or assets in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture or (x) conform any provision of the Indenture or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum.

An “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes occurs if: (i) the Issuer defaults in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for 30 days; (ii) the Issuer defaults in the payment of principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (iii) the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) the Issuer fails to comply with Section 4.08 of the Indenture (other than a failure to purchase Notes) and such failure continues for 45 days after receipt of the notice from the Trustee or the Holders specified below; (v) the Company, the Issuer or any Manufacturing Subsidiary fails to comply with its covenants or agreements with respect to such Notes contained in the Indenture (other

7

than those referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after receipt of the notice from the Trustee or the Holders specified below; (vi) the Company, the Issuer or any Manufacturing Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $150,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) and Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture; (viii) any final and nonappealable judgment or decree (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $150,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so covered) is rendered against the Company, the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary and such final judgment or decree remains outstanding and is not satisfied, discharged or waived within a period of 60 days following such judgment; or (ix) any Note Guarantee by any Note Guarantor that is the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, or by a group of Subsidiary Guarantors which collectively (as of the then most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the Company) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in each case ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any such Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified below.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether such Event of Default is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under clause (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) or (ix) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the default and the Company, the Issuer or the Subsidiary, as applicable, does not cure such default within any applicable time specified in clause (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) or (ix) above after receipt of such notice.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or the Issuer under Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

8

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authentication agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

BY ACCEPTING THIS NOTE, THE HOLDER HEREOF IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, THE INDENTURE, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice or notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder of Notes upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Note.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS the Issuer, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the Company and such subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Existing Guarantors”) have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Indenture dated as of September 28, 2021 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of the Issuer’s 2.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), initially in the aggregate principal amount of €400,000,000.

WHEREAS Section 4.11 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Company is required to cause the New Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the New Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Company are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the New Guarantor, the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all Existing Guarantors, to unconditionally guarantee the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture with respect to the Notes and of the Notes themselves.

This Supplemental Indenture shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature.
