(e)                 Interest:  Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 2.750% per annum until all required amounts due in respect of the Notes have been paid.  All interest shall be paid by the Company to the Principal Paying Agent and distributed by the Principal Paying Agent in accordance with this Indenture annually in arrears on January 15 of each year during which any portion of the Notes shall be Outstanding (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”), commencing on January 15, 2015, and will initially accrue from and including the date of issuance and thereafter from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid.  Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding Regular Record Date (which shall mean, with respect to any payment to be made on an Interest Payment Date, the Business Day preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date).  Where interest is required to be calculated in respect of a period which is equal to or shorter than an Interest Period, it shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year or a 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period in accordance with the Actual/Actual International Capital Market Association (“ICMA”) method, from and including the date from which interest begins to accrue to but excluding the date on which it falls due, divided by the actual number of calendar days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such calendar day but excluding the last).  As provided in the Original Indenture, (i) payment of principal and interest and other amounts on the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Principal Paying Agent in London, or such other paying agent office in London as the Company appoints, in the form provided for in Section 10.08 of the Original Indenture, (ii) all such payments to the Principal Paying Agent shall be made by the Company by depositing immediately available funds in euros by 12:00 p.m. (London time) one Business Day prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Payment Account and (iii) so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company shall maintain a paying agent in London.

(f)                 Default Rate :  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall accrue on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.5% per annum above the interest rate on the Notes at that time (the “ Default Rate ”) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, interest shall accrue on the amount of any interest, fee, Additional Amounts, or other amount payable under the Indenture and the Notes that is not paid when due, from the date such amount was due until such amount shall be paid in full, excluding the date of such payment, at the Default Rate.

(g)        Payment Account :  On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish (and shall promptly notify the Company of the establishment of such account, including the relevant account numbers and other relevant identifying details) and, until the Notes and all accounts due in respect thereof have been paid in full, the Trustee shall maintain the special purpose non-interest bearing trust account established pursuant to this Tenth Supplemental Indenture (the “ Payment Account ”) into which all payments required to be made by the Company under or with respect to the Notes shall be deposited.  The Company agrees that the Payment Account shall be maintained in the name of the Trustee and under its sole dominion and control (acting on behalf of the Holders of the Notes) and used solely to make payments of principal, interest and other amounts from time to time due and owing on, or with respect to, the Notes.  No funds contained in the Payment Account shall be used for any other purpose or in any manner not expressly provided for herein nor shall the Company or any other Person have an interest therein or amounts on deposit therein.  All amounts on deposit in the Payment Account on any Interest Payment Date after the Trustee has paid all amounts due and owing to the holders of the Notes as of such Interest Payment Date shall be retained in the Payment Account and used by the Trustee to pay any amounts due and owing to the Holders of the Notes on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(h)        Form and Denomination :  The Notes shall be issuable in whole in the registered form of one or more Global Notes (without coupons), in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, and shall be transferable in integral multiples of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof and the Depositary for such Global Notes shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as common depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear.

(i)         Guaranty :  The Notes shall have the benefit of the Guaranty in the manner provided in Article 3 of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

(j)         Rating :  The Notes can be issued without the requirement that they have any rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

(k)        Optional Early Redemption .  The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option before the Stated Maturity in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 but no more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (B) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Bund Rate plus 30 basis points (the “ Euro Make Whole Amount ”), plus in each case, accrued interest on the principal amount of such Notes to (but not including) the date of redemption.

(l)         Early Redemption Solely for Tax Reasons .  Pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations or ruling promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated (or, in the case of a successor Person to the Company, of the jurisdiction in which such successor Person is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application of or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction or such political subdivision or taxing authority (or such other jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change, execution or amendment becomes effective on or after the date hereof (or in the case of a successor Person to the Company, the date on which such successor Person became such pursuant to Section 8.01 and 8.02 of the Original Indenture), the Company would be required to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.10 of the Original Indenture.  For purposes of Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture, the reincorporation of the Company shall be treated as the adoption of a successor entity, provided, however, that redemption under Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture shall not be available if the reincorporation was performed in anticipation of a change in, execution of or amendment to any laws or treaties or the official application or interpretation of any laws or treaties of such new jurisdiction of incorporation that would result in an obligation to pay Additional Amounts.

(m)       Conversion :  The Notes will not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other securities.

(n)        Determination of Notes Outstanding .  For the purposes of the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture only, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the principal amount of Notes issued on the Closing Date shall be determined by converting such principal amount of Notes into U.S. dollars at the cross exchange rate of 0.7315, the cross exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars on January 10, 2014 as published in Bloomberg in the “Currency” section.

(o)           Luxembourg Stock Exchange Listing .  The Company shall maintain a Luxembourg Paying Agent if and for so long as the Notes are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for so long as the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires.  The Company may vary such appointment and will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of such change of appointment.  For so long as any Notes are represented by Global Notes, all notices to holders of the Notes will be delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their applicable policies as in effect from time to time.  In addition, if and for so long as the Notes are listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and the rules of the stock exchange so require, the Company shall publish notices with respect to the Notes on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.  Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication.

(b)                The Company agrees that, if a judgment or order given or made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of its obligations hereunder is expressed in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than euros (the “ Denomination Currency ”), it will indemnify the relevant Holder and the Trustee against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between the date at which the amount in the Denomination Currency is notionally converted into the amount in the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. 

(c)                 The above indemnities shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Company from its obligations under the Indenture, will give rise to separate and independent causes of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted from time to time and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or the filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Company for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under the Indenture or the Notes.”

(i)         Guaranty :  The Notes shall have the benefit of the Guaranty in the manner provided in Article 3 of this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.

(j)         Rating :  The Notes can be issued without the requirement that they have any rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

(k)        Optional Early Redemption .  The Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option before the Stated Maturity in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 but no more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (B) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Bund Rate plus 35 basis points (the “ Euro Make Whole Amount ”), plus in each case, accrued interest on the principal amount of such Notes to (but not including) the date of redemption.

(l)         Early Redemption Solely for Tax Reasons .  Pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations or ruling promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated (or, in the case of a successor Person to the Company, of the jurisdiction in which such successor Person is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application of or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction or such political subdivision or taxing authority (or such other jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change, execution or amendment becomes effective on or after the date hereof (or in the case of a successor Person to the Company, the date on which such successor Person became such pursuant to Section 8.01 and 8.02 of the Original Indenture), the Company would be required to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.10 of the Original Indenture.  For purposes of Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture, the reincorporation of the Company shall be treated as the adoption of a successor entity, provided, however, that redemption under Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture shall not be available if the reincorporation was performed in anticipation of a change in, execution of or amendment to any laws or treaties or the official application or interpretation of any laws or treaties of such new jurisdiction of incorporation that would result in an obligation to pay Additional Amounts.

(m)       Conversion :  The Notes will not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other securities.

(n)        Determination of Notes Outstanding .  For the purposes of the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture only, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the principal amount of Notes issued on the Closing Date shall be determined by converting such principal amount of Notes into U.S. dollars at the cross exchange rate of 0.7315, the cross exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars on January 10, 2014 as published in Bloomberg in the “Currency” section.

(o)           Luxembourg Stock Exchange Listing .  The Company shall maintain a Luxembourg Paying Agent if and for so long as the Notes are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for so long as the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires.  The Company may vary such appointment and will notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of such change of appointment.  For so long as any Notes are represented by Global Notes, all notices to holders of the Notes will be delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their applicable policies as in effect from time to time.  In addition, if and for so long as the Notes are listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and the rules of the stock exchange so require, the Company shall publish notices with respect to the Notes on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.  Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication.

(b)                The Company agrees that, if a judgment or order given or made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of its obligations hereunder is expressed in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than euros (the “ Denomination Currency ”), it will indemnify the relevant Holder and the Trustee against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between the date at which the amount in the Denomination Currency is notionally converted into the amount in the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. 

(c)                 The above indemnities shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Company from its obligations under the Indenture, will give rise to separate and independent causes of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted from time to time and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or the filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Company for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under the Indenture or the Notes.”
