Comparable Government Bond Rate means, with respect to any redemption date for each series of Notes, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.
Comparable Government Bond means, with respect to each series of Notes, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes to be redeemed, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to each series of Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with procedures of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear and together with Clearstream, the Depositary) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the series of Notes to be redeemed.

If less than all of any series of Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes of the series to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable depositary procedures.
If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) 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 or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after October 27, 2016, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts (as described below in Section 1.01(18)) with respect to the Notes, then the Company may at any time at the Companys option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional amounts) on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption;

If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Companys control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have
adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. 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 U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euro, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture. In no event, shall the Trustee be responsible for obtaining any foreign currency rate or otherwise effecting any conversions;
(11) | not applicable; |
(12) | not applicable; |

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Companys option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the |
Depositarys procedures) to Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositarys procedures) (a Change of Control Payment Date). The notice shall, if mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositarys procedures) prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date. |
On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

The Company shall 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that
