3. APPOINTMENT OF THE TRANSFER AGENT

3.1 The Transfer Agent is hereby appointed as the agent of the Issuer, to act as Transfer Agent for the purposes specified in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes, including, inter alia, completing, authenticating, holding and delivering Notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified herein, in the Indenture and in the Notes, and the Transfer Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

4. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT

4.1 The Issuer hereby appoints the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent hereby agrees, to act at its specified office as paying agent in relation to the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture and upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement and the Indenture.

4.2 The Paying Agent is appointed hereunder for the purposes of:

(a) paying sums due on the Notes referred to in Article I, Section 1.05 of the Supplemental Indenture; and

(b) otherwise fulfilling its duties and obligations as set out in this Agreement and the Indenture.

5. PAYMENT

Subject always to the Indenture and, in particular, any restrictions on the Issuer following delivery of a notice of an Event of Default (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) of the Issuer:

(a) The Issuer shall, not later than 10.00 am (London time) on a day which is one Business Day prior to the Business Day on which any payment in respect of the Notes becomes due, pay to such account of the Paying Agent as the Paying Agent and shall specify in Euros in immediately available funds on each due date for the payment of principal and/or interest and/or other amounts referred to in Article I, Section 1.05 of the Supplemental Indenture in respect of the Notes, an amount sufficient (together with any funds then held by the Paying Agent and available for the purpose) to pay all principal and interest and/or other amounts referred to in Article I, Section 1.05 of the Supplemental Indenture due in respect of the Notes on such date; provided that if any such date is not a Business Day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding date which is a Business Day. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” shall have the meaning as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture.

(b) The Issuer hereby authorises and directs the Paying Agent from funds so paid to the Paying Agent to make payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Indenture and the provisions of this Agreement. If any payment provided for in clause 5(a) of this Agreement is after the date specified therein but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes as aforesaid following receipt by the Paying Agent of such payment.

(c) If the Paying Agent has not, on the date on which any payment is due to be made to the Paying Agent pursuant to clause 5(a) of this Agreement, received the full amount payable in respect thereof on such date but receives such full amount later, together with accrued interest (if any) in accordance with the Indenture, it shall forthwith so notify the Issuer and the Trustee. Unless and until the full amount of any such principal or interest payment has been made to it, the Paying Agent will not be bound to make such payments.

(d) Without prejudice to clause 5(b) of this Agreement, if the Paying Agent pays out on or after the due date therefor (other than as a result of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct) to persons entitled thereto, or becomes liable to pay out, any amounts on the assumption (which is not negated by reasonable evidence to the contrary) that the corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or will be made, the Issuer shall on demand reimburse the Paying Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Paying Agent on such amount from (and including) the date on which it is paid out to (but excluding) the date of reimbursement at the rate per annum equal to the cost to the Paying Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(e) Payment of only part of the amount payable in respect of a Note may only be made at the discretion of the relevant Noteholder(s) (except as the result of a withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes permitted by the Indenture). If at any time the Paying Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note presented to it, it shall inform the Registrar of the same such that the Registrar may record the same on the register of Notes.

6. REPAYMENT

Any sums paid by, or by arrangement with, the Issuer to the Paying Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to be repaid to the Issuer unless and until the Notes in respect of which such sums were paid shall have been purchased or redeemed by the Issuer or any other subsidiary of the Issuer and cancelled, but in any of these events the Paying Agent shall (provided that all other amounts due under this Agreement shall have been duly paid) upon written request by the Issuer forthwith repay to the Issuer sums equivalent to the amounts which would otherwise have been payable on the relevant Notes together with any fees previously paid to the Paying Agent in respect of such Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to make any repayment to the Issuer so long as any amounts which under this Agreement should have been paid to or to the order of the Paying Agent by the Issuer shall remain unpaid. The Paying Agent shall not, however, be otherwise required or entitled to repay any sums properly received by it under this Agreement.

7. REDEMPTION; NOTICE OF WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION

7.1 The Issuer shall provide to the Paying Agent a copy of all notices of redemption delivered under the Indenture in respect of the Notes that it serves on the holders of the Notes including, without limitation, details of the date(s) on which such redemptions in respect of the Notes are to be made, all amounts required to be paid by the Issuer in respect thereof in accordance with the Indenture and the manner in which such redemption will be effected.

7.2 If:

(a) the Issuer, in respect of any payment; or

(b) the Paying Agent, in respect of any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes,

is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of tax,

(a) the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Paying Agent and the Trustee as soon as it becomes aware of such requirement and shall give to the Paying Agent such information as the Paying Agent requires to enable it to make such deduction or withholding; and

(b) except where such requirement arises as a result of redemption of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirement in respect of its Notes, the Paying Agent shall give notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to withhold or deduct.

8. RECORDS

The Paying Agent shall:

(a) keep a full and complete record of all payments made by it in respect of the Notes; and

(b) make such records available at all reasonable times to the Issuer and any persons authorised by it, and the Trustee for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof.

9. FEES AND EXPENSES

9.1 The Issuer will pay to the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar such fees and expenses in respect of the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar’s services under this Agreement as set forth in the fee letter dated March 28, 2018 from the Paying Agent to the Issuer, and in the fee schedule dated March 28, 2018 of the Transfer Agent and Registrar delivered to the Issuer.

9.2 The Issuer will also pay on demand, against presentation of such invoices and receipts as it may reasonably require, all out-of-pocket expenses (including necessary advertising, facsimile and telex transmission, postage and insurance expenses and, subject to prior approval by the Issuer as set forth below, the fees and expenses of legal advisers) properly incurred by the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar in connection with the services under this Agreement, together with any applicable value added tax or similar tax properly chargeable thereon. Payment by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar of such out-of-pocket expenses shall be a good discharge of the obligations of the Issuer in respect thereof. Where the advice of legal counsel is sought by the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar, the fees of any such counsel shall be agreed to by the Issuer (acting reasonably) in advance.

10. INDEMNITY

10.1 The Issuer undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless, the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Registrar and each of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) on demand by such Indemnified Party against any losses, liabilities, costs, fees, expenses, claims, actions, damages or demands (including, but not limited to, all reasonable costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in disputing or defending the foregoing

and the properly incurred fees and expenses of legal advisers) which such Indemnified Party may incur or which may be made against it, as a result of or in connection with the appointment or the exercise of or performance of its powers and duties under this Agreement, except such as may result from its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud or that of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

11.6 The Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar may consult with any legal or other professional advisers (who may be an employee of or legal adviser to the Issuer) selected by it, at the cost of the Issuer, provided that the fees of any such counsel shall be agreed to by the Issuer (acting reasonably) in advance, and the opinion of such advisers shall be full and complete protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered hereunder in accordance with the written opinion of such advisers.

11.7 The Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in reliance upon any instruction, request or order from the Issuer or upon any Note, notice, resolution, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement, telex, facsimile transmission or other document or information from any electronic or other source reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or otherwise given or disseminated by the proper party or parties, even if it is subsequently found not to be genuine or to be incorrect.

11.8 The Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar, whether acting for itself or in any other capacity, will not be precluded from becoming the owner of, or acquiring any interest in, holding or disposing of any Note or any shares or other securities of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, holding or associated companies (each a “Connected Company”), with the same rights as it would have had if it were not acting as Paying Agent or from entering into or being interested in any contracts or transactions with any Connected Company or from acting on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of any securities of any Connected Company and will not be liable to account for any profit.

11.12 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and the Registrar shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond its control including, without limitation, (i) any governmental activity (whether de jure or de facto), act of authority (whether lawful or unlawful), compliance with any governmental or regulatory order, rule, regulation or direction, curfew restriction, expropriation, compulsory acquisition, seizure,

20.

APPLICATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

AND CREATION OF NOTES

20.1 Application of this Supplemental Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, including the covenants set forth herein, are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Notes.

20.2 Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

With respect to the Notes only, the Existing Indenture shall be supplemented pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.04 and 8.01 thereof to establish the terms of the Notes as set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, including as follows:

(a)

the definitions set forth in Article I of the Existing Indenture shall be modified to the extent provided in Article II of this Supplemental Indenture;

(b)

the forms and terms of the securities representing the Notes required to be established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Existing Indenture shall be established in accordance with Sections 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06, 1.07, 1.08, 1.09, 1.10 and 1.11 and Articles III and IV of this Supplemental Indenture;

(c)

the provisions of Article 3 and Article 9 of the Existing Indenture regarding certain covenants of the Company shall be supplemented and amended by the provisions of Article V of this Supplemental Indenture; and

(d)

the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Existing Indenture regarding certain Events of Default shall be amended by the provisions of Article VI of this Supplemental Indenture.

20.3 Designation and Amount of Notes.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “0.600% Senior Notes due 2021.” The initial maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall not exceed €300,000,000 except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Notes pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 8.05, 12.02 or 12.03 of the Existing Indenture (unless the issue of this series of Notes is “reopened” by issuing additional Notes of such series (the “Additional Notes”), which Additional Notes shall constitute Notes for all purposes herein), in an amount or amounts and registered in the names of such Persons as shall be set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Existing Indenture. Any Additional Notes, together with the Notes offered hereby, will constitute a single series of securities under the Existing Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other identifying number.

20.4 Terms; Form of Security.

The Notes shall constitute one series for purposes of the Existing Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company shall issue any Additional Notes by adopting a Board Resolution, or, to the extent established pursuant to (rather than set forth in) a Board Resolution, in an Officer’s Certificate detailing such establishment and/or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in the manner set forth in Section 2.03 of the Existing Indenture providing for the terms of such issuance. The Notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more global notes (the “Global Securities”) in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount or any whole integral multiples of €1,000 above that amount, and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto and will be deposited with, or on behalf of, Elavon Financial Services DAC (the “Depositary”), as common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and registered in the name of such common depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. Except as described herein, certificates will not be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Global Securities. The Notes are not issuable in bearer form. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Company, by its execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agrees to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereto. Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture (and which do not affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed.

20.5 Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The Notes shall mature, and the principal of the Notes shall be due and payable in euro to the Holders thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on April 9, 2021.

(b) The Notes shall bear interest at 0.600% per annum from and including the date of original issuance, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or provided for until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or April 11, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. Interest on the Notes shall be payable annually in arrears in euro on April 9 of each year, commencing on April 9, 2019 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) for the purposes of the Notes under this Supplemental Indenture. Payments of interest shall be made to the Person in whose name a Note (or predecessor Note) is registered (which shall initially be the Depositary) at the close of business on the March 25 preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date” for the purposes of the Notes under this Supplemental Indenture).

If an Interest Payment Date, the maturity date or earlier date of redemption with respect to the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment and any related payment of principal, premium and additional amounts, if any, shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, the maturity date or date of redemption, as the case may be.

In the event that any such interest is not punctually paid or duly provided for, such interest shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and either may be paid to the Person in whose name the Note (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders not less than ten days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Existing Indenture.

(c) For so long as the Notes are represented in global form by one or more Global Securities, the Company shall, through the Paying Agent, make all payments of principal and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euro to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security representing such Notes. In the event that definitive Notes shall have been issued, all payments of principal and interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts of the registered Holders thereof; provided, however, that the Company may elect to make such payments at the office of the Paying Agent in London; and provided further, that the Company may at its option pay interest by check to the registered address of each Holder.

(d) The Notes are subject to redemption by the Company in whole or in part in the manner described herein.

20.6 Ranking.

The Notes shall be general unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The Notes shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior to any future subordinated debt from time to time outstanding.

20.7 Registrar and Agents.

U.S. Bank National Association shall initially act as the transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent”) for the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement (as defined below). Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch shall initially act as Paying Agent and for the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement. The Company may change the Transfer Agent, Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Transfer Agent, Registrar or Paying Agent.

20.8 Sinking Fund.

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

20.9 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

The provisions of Section 10.01 of the Existing Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes and, with respect to covenant defeasance, in addition to Sections 4.02, 9.01, and 3.05 of the Existing Indenture, the Company will also be released of its obligations under Article IV and Article V of this Supplemental Indenture upon satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 10.01(d) of the Existing Indenture relating to covenant defeasance; provided that the Opinion of Counsel provisions in Section 10.01(d)(iv) and (v) shall be amended such that the term “holders” shall replace the term “Holders.”

20.10 Issuance in Euro.

All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, including payments made upon any redemption of the Notes, will be payable in the single currency of participating member states of the economic and monetary union as contemplated in the Treaty on European Union (the “euro”). If, on or after the date of the preliminary prospectus supplement that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2018 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), the Company is unable to obtain euro in amounts sufficient to make a required payment under the Notes due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control (including the dissolution of the European Monetary Union) or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent Dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

20.11 Other Terms.

The Notes shall not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other securities of the Company, except that the Notes shall be exchangeable for other Notes to the extent provided for in the Existing Indenture and subject to the conditions set forth below. The Notes are not Original Issue Discount Securities.

Subject to certain conditions, the Notes represented by the Global Securities are exchangeable for certificated notes in definitive form of like tenor in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof if:

(1) the common depositary provides notification that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for the Global Securities and a successor is not appointed within 90 days;

(2) the Company, in its discretion, at any time determines not to have all of the Notes represented by the Global Securities; or

(3) an event of default entitling the Holders of the applicable Notes to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing.

Any Note that is exchangeable as above is exchangeable for certificated notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the common depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a global note of the same aggregate denomination to be registered in the name of the common depositary (or its nominee).

21.

REDEMPTION

22.1 Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

1. 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

2. the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued but unpaid as of the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”)), discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)), at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate, plus 15 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. In the event that the Notes or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control Repurchase Event, and the Redemption Date or the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, as applicable, is subsequent to a Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Notes will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Notes as provided herein.

(b) Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed by the Company or by the Trustee on the Company’s behalf; provided that notice of redemption may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by a method that the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate in accordance with the procedures of Clearstream, Euroclear and the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

22.2 Redemption for Tax Reasons.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) or treaties of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Company becomes or there is a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described herein under Section 4.01 with respect to the Notes (it being understood that such material probability will be deemed to result if a written opinion of independent tax counsel to such effect is delivered to the Trustee and Paying Agent), then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the outstanding Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; provided such obligation cannot be avoided by its taking reasonable measures available to it, not including substitution of the obligor under the Notes.

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

(10) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9).

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem, or has defeased or satisfied and discharged the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of €100,000 and thereafter in integral multiples of €1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to but excluding the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company will mail (or send electronically in accordance with applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

(b) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

1. accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations of €100,000 and thereafter in integral multiples of €1,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

2. deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

3. deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company.

(d) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 above that amount.

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

24.2 Limitation on Liens.

(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will create or suffer to exist any Lien upon Principal Property of the Company or of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or upon any shares of capital stock (or other equity interests) of any Subsidiary that owns Principal Property to secure any Indebtedness incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of the Indenture, unless the Company secures, or causes such Subsidiary to secure, all payments due under the Notes and all senior debt securities of any series having the benefit of this covenant (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Notes) equally and ratably with such secured Indebtedness, in each case for as long as such other Indebtedness shall be so secured. This restriction will not apply in the case of:

1. Liens on the property or on the outstanding capital stock (or other equity interests) of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary or at the time such person is merged into, consolidated with or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, but not created in contemplation of such Person’s becoming a Subsidiary or being acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company;

2. Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the property affected by such Lien, or Liens incurred to secure payment of all or part of the purchase price of such property or to secure Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after, the acquisition of such property for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price of such property (provided such Liens are limited to such property and improvements to such property);

3. Liens to secure all or part of the cost of acquisition, construction, development or improvement of the underlying property, or to secure Indebtedness incurred to provide funds for any such purpose (including purchase money security interests or purchase money mortgages on real or personal property), provided that the commitment of the creditor to extend the credit secured by any such Lien shall have been obtained not later than 12 months after the later of (a) the completion of the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of such property or (b) the placing in operation of such property or of such property as so constructed, developed or improved, and Liens to the extent that they secure Indebtedness in excess of such cost and for the payment of which recourse may only be had against such property;

4. Liens which secure only Indebtedness owing by a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or to a Subsidiary of the Company;

5. Liens required by any contract or statute in order to permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to perform any contract or subcontract made by it with or at the request of the United States of America or any state, or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of any of the foregoing or the District of Columbia;

6. Liens, if any, in existence on the date the Indenture is executed;

7. Liens created, incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds the interest on which is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to Section 103(b) of the Code or in connection with an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or similar financing between the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and any federal, state or municipal government or any other governmental body or quasi-governmental agency;

8. Liens on any property created, assumed or otherwise brought into existence in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of the underlying property, whether directly or indirectly, by way of share disposition or otherwise, provided that the Company or its Subsidiaries must have disposed of such property within 180 days after the creation of such Liens and that any Indebtedness secured by such Liens shall be without recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; and

9. Any extensions, renewals, replacements or refundings (or successive extensions, renewals, replacements or refundings) of Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses, provided that such Liens do not cover any property or assets other than the property or assets subject to the Lien being extended, renewed, replaced or refunded and the principal amount of the secured Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the secured Indebtedness being extended, renewed, replaced or refunded plus the amount of any accrued interest, prepayment premiums and the costs associated with such extension, renewal, replacement or refunding (except that, where an additional amount of Indebtedness is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may be secured by the Lien as well).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries may create or suffer to exist Liens which would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Section 5.02 securing Indebtedness incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in aggregate outstanding amount which, together with all Attributable Debt of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries then outstanding in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions involving Principal Properties (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions that are permitted under Section 5.03(a)(i) – (iii) below) and all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens previously permitted solely by this paragraph, would not exceed the greater of (i) $200 million and (ii) 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the granting or creation of such Lien.

24.3 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

(a) Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction involving Principal Property, whereby such property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, unless:

1. such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (i) involves the taking back of a lease for a period of three years or less or (ii) is between the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company or between Subsidiaries of the Company;

2. the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries would be entitled to issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction secured by a Lien on such Principal Property under one of the exceptions for Liens set forth in Section 5.02(a)(i) – (ix) above without equally and ratably securing the Notes;

3. the Company applies to the retirement or prepayment of its Funded Debt, or to the acquisition, development or improvement of real property, plant and equipment an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Principal Property so leased within 180 days of the effective date of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, provided that the amount to be applied to the retirement or prepayment of its Funded Debt shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Notes delivered by the Company to the Trustee within 180 days after such Sale and Leaseback Transaction for retirement and cancellation; or

4. after giving effect thereto, the sum of (A) the then outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness secured by all Liens on Principal Properties incurred after the date of the Indenture that are not otherwise permitted by Section 5.02(a)(i) – (ix) above and (B) the Attributable Debt then outstanding with respect to all Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the date of the Indenture and otherwise prohibited in accordance with Section 5.03 (after giving effect to all applications, retirements, prepayments and cancellations referenced in Section 5.03(a)(iii)) does not exceed the greater of (i) $200 million and (ii) 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

25.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. “Event of Default”, with respect to the Notes wherever used herein, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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):

(a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or any premium on any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, and the continuance of such default; or

(c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in respect of the Notes (other than a default specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(d) (1) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the payment of any principal at maturity of any Indebtedness (other than the Notes) aggregating more than $50,000,000 in principal amount, when due and payable after giving effect to any applicable grace period; or (2) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the performance of any other term or provision of any Indebtedness (other than the Notes) aggregating more than $50,000,000 in principal amount that results in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such indebtedness shall not have been discharged within a period of 30 days after there has been given to the Company by the Trustee or given to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, a written notice specifying such default or defaults; provided, however, that if the default under such Indebtedness is cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, in each case as permitted by the governing instrument, then the event of default caused by such default will be deemed likewise to be cured or waived; or

(e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property and assets or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(f) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property and assets, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and also to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the entire principal of all of the Notes and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clauses (e) or (f) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, the entire principal of all the Notes then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Notes and the principal of any and all Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Notes to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation of the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to all the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In the event that this Note or a portion thereof is called for redemption or there is a Change of Control Repurchase Event, and the Redemption Date or the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, as applicable, is subsequent to a Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of this Note as provided in the Indenture.

all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Trustee by a method that the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate in accordance with the procedures of Clearstream, Euroclear and the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable: provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

6. Redemption for Tax Reasons. If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) or treaties of the United States (as defined below) (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the preliminary prospectus supplement that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2018, the Company becomes or there is a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described herein under Section 7 of this Notes (it being understood that such material probability will be deemed to result if the written opinion of independent tax counsel to such effect is delivered to the Trustee and Paying Agent), then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the outstanding Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; provided such obligation cannot be avoided by its taking reasonable measures available to it, not including substitution of the obligor under the Notes.

7. Payment of Additional Amounts. Pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in Section 4.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by each beneficial owner of a Note that is not a United States person (as defined below) of such amounts, after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States (including any withholding or deduction with respect to the payment of such additional amounts) as would have been received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

As used in Sections 6 and 7 of this Note, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states of the United States and the District of Columbia and any political subdivision thereof) and the term “United States person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

8. Change of Control Repurchase Event. Pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, if a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem, defease or satisfy and discharge the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of €100,000 and thereafter in integral multiples of €1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to but excluding the date of purchase.

9. Convertibility. The Notes are not convertible into any Securities of the Company.

10. Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

13. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

14. No Recourse Against Others. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.01 of the Existing Indenture, no stockholder, director, officer or incorporator, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation or trust shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Note by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
