Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the

exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Fiscal Agent and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Fiscal Agent and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Fiscal Agent deems sufficient.

The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Notes Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Fiscal Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders of Notes, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes at the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be

cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken based on such record date previously set. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Fiscal Agent in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

The Fiscal Agent may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 4.2, (ii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 4.7 or (iii) any direction referred to in Section 4.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes at the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Fiscal Agent from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken based on such record date previously set. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Fiscal Agent, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount of such Note.

SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc., to Fiscal Agent and the Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(1) the Fiscal Agent by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Fiscal Agent at the Fiscal Agent’s Office, or

(2) the Company by the Fiscal Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid to the Company at its address at 1-1, Nihonbashi-Honcho 2-Chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-8668, Japan, Fax: +81-3-3278-2198, Attention: Global Treasury & Finance Management, Group Finance & Controlling, Global Finance; or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Fiscal Agent by the Company.

SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or emailed, in PDF format, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Notes Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail or email, neither the failure to mail or email such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or emailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 1.8. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

SECTION 1.11. Governing Law.

This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 1.12. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

(a) The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York State or the federal courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been

brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, it irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder or under any Note. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment or in any manner provided by law, provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner specified in the following paragraph or as otherwise permitted by law.

(b) As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in The City of New York upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed Cogency Global Inc. as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the offices of such agent. Cogency Global Inc. has accepted such appointment as agent for service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, with prior written notice to the Fiscal Agent, terminate the appointment of such agent and appoint another agent for the above purposes so that the Company shall at all times have an agent for the above purposes in The City of New York.

(c) The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any requirement or other provision of law, rule, regulation or practice which requires or otherwise establishes as a condition to the institution, prosecution or completion of any suit, action or proceeding (including appeals) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note, the posting of any bond or the furnishing, directly or indirectly, of any other security.

SECTION 1.13. Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE FISCAL AGENT HEREBY 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 AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 1.14. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

In any case in which any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment made pursuant to the preceding sentence on such next succeeding Business Day shall have the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no additional interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period after such date.

If any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a EURIBOR Business Day, such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding EURIBOR Business Day, unless the next succeeding EURIBOR Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding EURIBOR Business Day.

SECTION 1.15. Communications by Holders with Other Holders.

Within five Business Days of receipt of a written application by a Holder stating that such Holder desires to communicate with other Holders of Notes, the Fiscal Agent, provided it has received a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applying Holder proposes to transmit and proof

reasonably satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent that such Holder has owned Notes for a period of at least six months prior to such request, shall either (i) afford the applying Holder access to the requested information or (ii) transmit copies of the communication prepared by the applying Holder to the registered Holders at the expense of such applying Holder.

SECTION 1.16. English Language.

All certificates, opinions, notices, consents, requests or other documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto shall be in the English language.

SECTION 1.17. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, may from time to time, without the consent of Holders of Notes, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes of a series in all respects, except for the issue date, issue price and first Interest Payment Date thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner may be consolidated with and form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes of the relevant series; provided that if any additional notes are not fungible with the Notes of the relevant series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will be issued as a separate series under this Agreement and will have a separate “ISIN” or similar identifying number from the Notes of the relevant series.

The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without interest coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Notes issued in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act shall initially be issued in the form of one or more global notes in the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-3 hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Note”) and Notes issued in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act shall initially be issued in the form of one or more global notes in the form of Exhibit A-2 or

A-4 hereto (each, a “Regulation S Global Note” and, collectively with the Rule 144A Global Notes, the “Global Notes”). Interests in any Global Note will be exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form only under the circumstances set forth herein.

The Notes may have such additional provisions, omissions, variations or substitutions as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of any securities exchange, any governmental agency or the Depositary or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. All Notes shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and as provided herein.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Representative Director of the Company. The signature of any Representative Director of the Company on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of issuance of such Notes the proper Representative Director of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices thereafter.

The definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the Representative Director of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. Until definitive Notes shall have been prepared, the Company may execute, and upon the written order of the Company, the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (in lieu of definitive Notes), temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor referred to above. Such temporary Notes shall be subject to the same limitations and conditions and entitled to the same rights and benefits as definitive Notes, except as provided herein or therein. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall promptly cause definitive Notes to be prepared. Temporary Notes shall be exchangeable at the principal office of the Fiscal Agent in London (or at such other office in London as shall be specified in the text of such temporary Notes) for definitive Notes when the latter shall be ready for delivery; and upon the surrender for exchange at said office of such temporary Notes, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent is authorized to authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 of this Agreement, in exchange for such temporary Notes a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes of the appropriate form and denomination. Temporary Notes shall be appropriately legended.

SECTION 2.2. Certificate of Authentication.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially as set forth in the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1, A-2, A-3 or A-4 hereto, as applicable, executed by the Fiscal Agent by manual signature of one of its Responsible Officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certification by the Fiscal Agent upon any Note executed by or on behalf of the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

The Company has, by a purchase agreement dated November 15, 2018 among the Company and J.P.

The Global Notes will be dated November 21, 2018.

SECTION 2.4. Registrar, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Fiscal Agent’s Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Notes Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Fiscal Agent is hereby appointed “Notes Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes as herein provided. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts; provided, however, that there shall at all times be a transfer agent in London. There shall be only one Notes Registrar. The Notes Register will show the amount of the Notes, the date of issue, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in respect thereof and the names, tax identifying numbers (if relevant to a specific holder), addresses of the holders of the Notes and any payment instructions with respect thereto (if different from a holder’s registered address). The Fiscal Agent will also maintain a record which will include notations as to whether the Notes have been paid or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Notes, whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, such records will include notations of each Note so replaced, and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, such records will include notations of each Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled. The Fiscal Agent shall upon written request make the Notes Register and such records available, during normal office hours and on reasonable written notice, to the Company, or any Person authorized by the Company in writing, for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and, at the expense of the Company, the Fiscal Agent shall deliver to such Persons all lists of Holders of Notes, their addresses and amounts of such holdings as they may request.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all references in this Agreement to the Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Fiscal Agent in its capacity as Fiscal Agent, Notes Registrar and Calculation Agent and (ii) every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct, rights or privileges of the Fiscal Agent or affecting the liability or offering protection, immunity or indemnity to the Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to apply with the same force and effect to the Fiscal Agent acting in its capacities as Notes Registrar, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent and to each agent of the Fiscal Agent employed to act hereunder.

Subject to this Section 2.4, Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, at the option of the Holder, Notes may be presented for exchange for other Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount or for registration of transfer by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and with the form of transfer thereon duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent duly executed, at the office of the Fiscal Agent or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company, the Company shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

The Fiscal Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 2.5. Global Notes.

Each Global Note authenticated under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Note or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Agreement.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with Euroclear and Clearstream (“Participants”) or persons who hold interests through such Participants. Upon the issuance of a Global Note, Euroclear or Clearstream shall credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Note to the accounts of its Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such ownership interests shall be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream (with respect to interests of Participants) or by any such Participant (with respect to interests of persons held by such Participants on their behalf). Payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in a Global Note may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by Euroclear and Clearstream from time to time. None of the Company, the Fiscal Agent or any of their respective agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of Euroclear’s, Clearstream’s or any Participant’s records, policies or procedures relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a Global Note or for any other aspect of the relationship between Euroclear or Clearstream and its Participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Note to the contrary, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or its nominee unless (i) Euroclear and Clearstream is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so or (ii) there shall

have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. All definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. In the event and for so long as definitive Notes are not issued to any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note after the occurrence of one of the events set forth above, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of a Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 4.7 or Section 4.8, the right of such owner to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such owner’s Notes as if such definitive Notes had been issued.

Except in the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph, as long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered Holder of a Global Note, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner and Holder of such Global Note (and of the Notes represented thereby) for all purposes under this Agreement and the Notes. Except in the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall not be entitled to have such Global Note or any Notes represented thereby registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of definitive Notes in exchange therefor and shall not be considered the owners or Holders of such Global Note (or any Notes represented thereby) for any purpose under this Agreement or the Notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note shall be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Agreement referred to herein and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream). All payments of interest on, principal of, or Additional Amounts on, a Global Note shall be made to or to the order of the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder thereof.

Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 2.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.6. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Global Notes shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers (the “Transfer Restrictions”) provided in the applicable legends (the “Legends”) required to be set forth on the face of each Global Note as provided in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 hereto, and each Holder of a Global Note and each owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, by its acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by and comply with the Transfer Restrictions, in each case unless compliance with the Transfer Restrictions shall be waived by the Company in writing delivered to the Fiscal Agent.

(b) The Transfer Restrictions shall cease and terminate with respect to any particular Global Note upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (which may include an opinion of independent counsel experienced in matters of United States federal securities law) that, as of the date of determination, such Global Note (a) has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (b) has been transferred (i) in a transaction satisfying all the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 (as applicable) of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All references in the preceding sentence to any regulation, rule or provision thereof shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions thereof.

(c) At the request of the Holder and upon the surrender of such Global Note to the Fiscal Agent for exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6, any Global Note as to which the Transfer Restrictions shall have terminated in accordance with the preceding paragraph shall be exchanged for a new Note, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, but without the Legends.

(d) As used in this Section 2.6, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Notes referred to herein.

(e) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest (an “Owner Transferor”) in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person (an “Owner Transferee”) who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (e). “Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream to the extent the same are applicable to such transfer and shall be complied with by any Holder or any party which has a beneficial interest in a Global Note; provided, however, the Fiscal Agent shall not be responsible for determining any compliance with such rules and procedures. Upon receipt by the Fiscal Agent of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Participant whose account is to be debited (a “Participant Transferor”) with respect to the Rule 144A Global Note directing the Fiscal Agent to credit or cause to be credited to a specified account of another Participant (a “Participant Transferee”) a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred (the “Rule 144A Global Transferred Amount”), (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Participant Transferee to be credited with, and the account of the Participant Transferor to be debited for, the Rule 144A Global Transferred Amount and (3) a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto given by the Owner Transferor stating that the transfer has been made pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, the Fiscal Agent shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note, and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note, by the Rule 144A Global Transferred Amount, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Participant Transferee a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, and to debit or cause to be debited to the account of the Participant Transferor a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, in each case having a principal amount equal to the Rule 144A Global Transferred Amount.

(f) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If an Owner Transferor wishes at any time to transfer a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to an Owner Transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Section 2.6(f). Upon receipt by the Fiscal Agent of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from the Participant Transferor, directing the Fiscal Agent to credit or cause to be credited to a specified account of a Participant Transferee a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so transferred (the “Regulation S Global Transferred Amount”), (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Participant Transferee to be credited with, and the account of the Participant Transferor to be debited for, the Regulation S Global Amount, and (3) if the transfer is prior to or on the 40^th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and the issue date of the Notes, a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto given by the Owner Transferor stating (A) that the Person transferring such interest in a Regulation S Global Note (i) reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is a Qualified Institutional Buyer purchasing for its own account (or for the account of one or more Qualified Institutional Buyers over which account it exercises sole investment discretion), (ii) has notified such Person of the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes, and (B) the transfer is in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, the Fiscal Agent shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note, and to increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note, by the Regulation S Global Transferred Amount, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Participant Transferee a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, and to debit or cause to be debited to the account of the Participant

Transferor a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, in each case having a principal amount equal to the Regulation S Global Transferred Amount.

SECTION 2.7. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, the Company shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, from any losses or claims incurred in connection with the issuance of a new Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Fiscal Agent that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in exchange for any mutilated Note or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.8. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Company or the Fiscal Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Fiscal Agent nor any agent of the Company or the Fiscal Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. In considering the interests of the Holders of Notes while title to the Notes is registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary, the Fiscal Agent may refer to any information made available to it by the Depositary as to the identity (either individually or by category) of its Participants or persons who hold interests through such Participants with entitlements to Notes and may consider such interests as if such accountholders were the Holders of the Notes. For the purposes of enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement against the Fiscal Agent, the persons named in a certificate of the Holder of any Global Note in respect of which a global certificate is issued shall be recognized as the beneficiaries of this Agreement, to the extent of the principal amounts of their interests in the Notes set out in the certificate of the Holder, as if they were themselves the Holders of the Notes in such principal amounts.

SECTION 2.9. Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Fiscal Agent, be delivered to the Fiscal Agent and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Fiscal Agent (or to any other Person for delivery to the Fiscal Agent) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Fiscal Agent. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All canceled Notes (and all Notes paid in full at final maturity thereof) held by the Fiscal Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with the Fiscal Agent’s customary practices.

SECTION 2.10. Japanese Withholding Taxes.

(a) In compliance with Japanese tax laws and the practices of tax authorities in Japan, in respect of any interest payment on the Notes issued in global or book-entry form pursuant to this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto, any Paying Agent shall act in accordance with the procedures and forms set out in the applicable and most recent memorandum prepared by the International Capital Markets Association, or any other organization or organizations that succeed the International Capital Markets Association (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time by notice from such association) entitled “Compliance Procedures for International Securities Offerings by Japanese Issuers”, intended to provide for the administration of the Act on Special Taxation Measures (the “ICMA Procedures”). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any such Paying Agent shall be responsible only for performing such services as are specifically provided for in the ICMA Procedures or such other procedures actually known by the Paying Agent, as applicable and as may be amended or modified and communicated to the Paying Agent from time to time. Any such Paying Agent and the Company may rely on the information provided in the claim for exemption from Japanese withholding taxes and other documentation in the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary. If any interest payment on a Note is due to be made hereunder, and if and so long as payments of interest (if any) by the Company to any Paying Agent may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Japanese tax only upon receipt of Tax Documentation, the relevant Paying Agent at the direction of the Company, shall (i) accept delivery of the required Tax Documentation from the clearing organization (or Holders of the Notes, if definitive Notes have been issued); (ii) provide to the Company any required confirmations of information available to it; and (iii) deliver such Tax Documentation to, or on the written order of, the Company via facsimile no later than two Business Days after the Paying Agent has received such Tax Documentation, followed by first class mail or express courier at the address stipulated in Section 1.5, for filing with the relevant Japanese district tax office. Any such Paying Agent may rely on the information provided in Tax Documentation (including, where relevant, supporting documentation) in the absence of actual knowledge that such information is incorrect.

(b) If a Holder of the Notes or the holder of a depositary interest representing the Notes satisfies the requirements for claiming an exemption from Japanese withholding tax after the date on which an amount in respect of such tax is withheld and before the date on which the tax is actually paid to the Japanese tax authorities, then the Company or the Paying Agent acting at the direction of the Company may, to the extent reasonably practicable, repay the amount withheld (after deduction of reasonable costs, including amounts in respect of changes in foreign exchange rates) to the Holder.

SECTION 2.11. Japanese Withholding Tax Legend.

Each Global Note and each definitive Note issued for exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall bear the following legend relating to Japanese withholding tax:

“INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THIS NOTE GENERALLY WILL BE SUBJECT TO JAPANESE WITHHOLDING TAX UNLESS IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT THIS NOTE IS HELD BY OR

FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS (I) FOR JAPANESE TAX PURPOSES, NEITHER AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A JAPANESE CORPORATION, NOR AN INDIVIDUAL NON-RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A NON-JAPANESE CORPORATION THAT IN EITHER CASE IS A PERSON HAVING A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY AS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE 6, PARAGRAPH (4) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL MEASURES CONCERNING TAXATION OF JAPAN (ACT NO. 26 OF 1957, AS AMENDED) (THE “ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES”) (A “SPECIALLY-RELATED PERSON OF THE COMPANY”), (II) A JAPANESE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR A JAPANESE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BUSINESS OPERATOR DESIGNATED IN ARTICLE 3-2-2, PARAGRAPH (28) OF THE CABINET ORDER (CABINET ORDER NO. 43 OF 1957, AS AMENDED) RELATING TO THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR TAX EXEMPTION UNDER ARTICLE 6, PARAGRAPH (9) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES OR (III) A PUBLIC CORPORATION, A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR A FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BUSINESS OPERATOR, ETC. DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE 3-3, PARAGRAPH (6) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES WHICH HAS RECEIVED SUCH PAYMENTS THROUGH A PAYMENT HANDLING AGENT IN JAPAN AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (1) OF SAID ARTICLE AND COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR TAX EXEMPTION UNDER THAT PARAGRAPH.

INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THIS NOTE TO AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT OF JAPAN, TO A JAPANESE CORPORATION NOT DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, OR TO AN INDIVIDUAL NON-RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A NON-JAPANESE CORPORATION THAT IN EITHER CASE IS A SPECIALLY-RELATED PERSON OF THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO JAPANESE INCOME TAX AT THE TIME OF SUCH INTEREST PAYMENTS.”

SECTION 2.12. Issuance in Euros.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments and additional amounts, if any, in respect of the Notes will be payable in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control or the euro is no longer 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 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 euros will be converted to U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for euros, 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. Neither the Fiscal Agent nor the Paying Agent will be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

SECTION 2.13. Book-entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) The Global Notes representing the Notes shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream (the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of such common depository or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each such Global Note shall constitute a single security for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof unless (A) Euroclear or Clearstream is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so, (B) the Company determines at any time that the Notes shall no longer be represented by Global Notes and shall

inform Euroclear or Clearstream of such determination and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream elect to withdraw their beneficial interests in the Notes from such Depositary, following notification by the Depositary of their right to do so, or (C) such exchange is made upon request by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures, following the request of a Holder seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under the Notes during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(c) Subject to clause (b) above, any exchange of a Global Note for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Note shall direct in writing to the Fiscal Agent.

(d) Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (g) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below in clause (g)) and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Notes.

(f) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (b) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Fiscal Agent a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(g) Neither any members of, or participants in, Euroclear or Clearstream (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Company or the Fiscal Agent as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Fiscal Agent or any agent of the Company or the Fiscal Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

ARTICLE III

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 3.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Agreement.

The Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Agreement (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Fiscal Agent, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement, when

(1) either

(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.7) have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation; or

(B) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation

(i) have become due and payable,

(ii) will become due and payable at their maturity date within one year, or

(iii) are to be called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1, Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 10.04 or Section 10.5 within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent for the giving of notice of redemption by the Fiscal Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Fiscal Agent as trust funds in trust for such purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid or made provision satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

(3) the Company has delivered to the Fiscal Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement, the obligations of the Company to the Fiscal Agent under Section 4.6, Section 5.6 and Section 9.3, any obligations of the Fiscal Agent under Section 3.2 and any rights of registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes provided in Section 2.4, Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, or Section 9.2 and any rights to Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 9.5 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 3.2. Application of Trust Money.

All money deposited with the Fiscal Agent pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Agreement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Fiscal Agent may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Fiscal Agent.

ARTICLE IV

REMEDIES OF THE FISCAL AGENT AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 4.1. Event of Default. Unless otherwise established hereunder or by any applicable amendment or supplement hereto, an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes shall mean any 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):

default shall be made for more than seven days in the payment of principal or for more than 30 days in the payment of interest in respect of any of the Notes; or

the Company defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant, condition or provision contained in the Notes or in this Agreement for a period of 60 days after written notification requesting such default to be remedied by the Company shall first

have been given to the Company (and to the Fiscal Agent in the case of notice by the Holders referred to below) by the Fiscal Agent or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (such notification must specify the Event of Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notification is a “Notice of Default” hereunder); or

the Company shall have become bound as a consequence of a default by it in its obligations in respect of any indebtedness for borrowed moneys having a total principal amount then outstanding of at least $50,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) contracted or incurred by it prematurely to repay the same, or the Company shall have defaulted in the repayment of any such indebtedness contracted or incurred by it at the later of the maturity thereof or the expiration of any applicable grace period therefor, or the Company shall have failed to pay when properly called upon to do so, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any guarantee contracted or incurred by it of any such indebtedness in accordance with the terms of any such guarantee; provided, however, that, prior to any judgment, if any such default under such indebtedness shall be cured by the Company, or be waived by the holders of such indebtedness, in each case as may be permitted under the terms of such indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason of such default shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured or waived; or

a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be made or an effective resolution of the Company shall be passed for the winding-up or dissolution of the Company except for the purposes of or pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction under which the continuing corporation or the corporation formed as a result thereof effectively assumes the entire obligations of the Company under this Agreement in relation to the Notes; or

an encumbrancer shall have taken possession, or a trustee or receiver shall have been appointed, in bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency of the Company, of all or substantially all of its assets and undertakings and such possession or appointment shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

the Company shall stop payment (within the meaning of the bankruptcy law of Japan) or (otherwise than for the purposes of such a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction as is referred to in paragraph 4 above) shall cease to carry on business or shall be unable to pay its debts generally as and when they fall due; or

a decree or order by any court having jurisdiction shall have been issued adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition seeking with respect to the Company reorganization or liquidation under bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency law of Japan, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

the Company shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency law of Japan or shall make a conveyance or assignment for the benefit of, or shall enter into any composition with, its creditors generally.

SECTION 4.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, then in every such case (other than an Event

of Default specified in Section 4.1(7) or Section 4.1(8)) the Fiscal Agent or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of each affected series may declare the principal amount of all the Notes of such affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Fiscal Agent if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 4.1(7) or Section 4.1(8) with respect to us, the principal of and interest on all outstanding Notes will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice. In addition, the fiscal agent shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if, in the reasonable judgment of the fiscal agent, acceleration is not in the best interest of the holders.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Fiscal Agent as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Fiscal Agent, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Fiscal Agent a sum sufficient to pay

(A) all overdue interest on all Notes,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Fiscal Agent hereunder and the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Fiscal Agent, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Fiscal Agent. The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the maturity thereof and such default continues for a period of seven days,

the Company will, upon demand of the Fiscal Agent, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, if any, and, in

addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Fiscal Agent, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Fiscal Agent may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Fiscal Agent shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 4.4. Fiscal Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. In particular, the Fiscal Agent shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Fiscal Agent and, in the event that the Fiscal Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Fiscal Agent any amount due it for the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Fiscal Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Fiscal Agent under Section 5.6.

No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize the Fiscal Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Fiscal Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Fiscal Agent may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

SECTION 4.5. Fiscal Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Fiscal Agent without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Fiscal Agent shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Fiscal Agent, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 4.6. Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Fiscal Agent and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Fiscal Agent and any predecessor Fiscal Agent under Section 5.6; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes (including Additional Amounts, if any) in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, respectively.

SECTION 4.7. Limitation on Suits.

Other than the right to institute a suit for the enforcement of the payment of principal of, or interest on (including, in each case, any Additional Amounts, if applicable), any Notes after the applicable due date specified in the Notes, no Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Fiscal Agent of a continuing Event of Default; (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series shall have made written request to the Fiscal Agent to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Fiscal Agent; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Fiscal Agent indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the Fiscal Agent for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Fiscal Agent during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series.

No one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 4.8. Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, and interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 4.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 4.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.7 and as provided in Section 4.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Fiscal Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 4.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Fiscal Agent or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default or otherwise shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Fiscal Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Fiscal Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.12. Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Fiscal Agent, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Fiscal Agent, provided that

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement,

(2) the action so directed would not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction or would involve the Fiscal Agent in personal liability,

(3) the Fiscal Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Fiscal Agent which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(4) the Fiscal Agent shall not be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken, and

provided further that the Fiscal Agent shall be under no obligation to determine whether any such direction shall be in such conflict or so unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction.

Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Fiscal Agent in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Fiscal Agent and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Holders of Notes.

SECTION 4.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of the relevant series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such series, waive any past default hereunder, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose under this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.14. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Fiscal Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Fiscal Agent, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs,

including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any such party litigant; provided that no court shall require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, the Fiscal Agent or any Holder or group of Holders holding in aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of a series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Outstanding Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note.

SECTION 4.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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 Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Fiscal Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE V

THE FISCAL AGENT

SECTION 5.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

The Fiscal Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which the rights of Holders of Notes are subject:

(1) In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Notes, the Fiscal Agent is acting solely as an agent of the Company and does not assume any responsibility for the correctness of the recitals in the Notes (except for the correctness of the statement of the Fiscal Agent in its certificate of authentication thereon) or any obligation or relationship of agency, for or with any of the owners or Holders of the Notes.

The obligations of the Company to the Fiscal Agent under the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent, the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Notes issued hereunder.

SECTION 5.7. Fiscal Agent Required.

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Fiscal Agent hereunder.

SECTION 5.8. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

No resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent and no appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.9.

The Fiscal Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Fiscal Agent required by Section 5.9 shall not have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation (or within 30 days of the Fiscal Agent receiving a notice of removal pursuant to the provisions below), the resigning (or removed) Fiscal Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent with respect to the Notes.

The Fiscal Agent may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Fiscal Agent and to the Company.

If at any time:

(1) the Fiscal Agent shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.7 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder, or

(2) the Fiscal Agent shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Fiscal Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Fiscal Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Company may remove the Fiscal Agent or (B) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Fiscal Agent with respect to all Notes and the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent.

If the Fiscal Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Fiscal Agent for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly

appoint a successor Fiscal Agent with respect to the Notes and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 5.7. If a successor Fiscal Agent with respect to the Notes shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Fiscal Agent, the successor Fiscal Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.9, become the successor Fiscal Agent with respect to the Notes and supersede the successor Fiscal Agent appointed by the Company. If no successor Fiscal Agent with respect to the Notes shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.9 within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent.

The Company shall give notice, or shall cause the Notes Registrar to give notice, of each resignation and each removal of the Fiscal Agent and each appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent to all Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Fiscal Agent and the address of the Fiscal Agent’s Office.

SECTION 5.9. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Fiscal Agent, every such successor Fiscal Agent so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Fiscal Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Fiscal Agent shall become effective and such successor Fiscal Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Fiscal Agent; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Fiscal Agent, such retiring Fiscal Agent shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Fiscal Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Fiscal Agent and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Fiscal Agent all property and money held by such retiring Fiscal Agent hereunder.

Upon request of any such successor Fiscal Agent, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Fiscal Agent all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

No successor Fiscal Agent shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Fiscal Agent shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 5.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any bank or trust company into which the Fiscal Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Fiscal Agent shall be a party, or any bank or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Fiscal Agent, shall be the successor of the Fiscal Agent hereunder, provided such bank or trust company shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Fiscal Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, consolidation or sale to such authenticating Fiscal Agent may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Fiscal Agent had itself authenticated such Notes.

Upon any Succession Event in accordance with Section 7.1, such succeeding entity (the “Successor Person”) formed by such Succession Event shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Agreement and the Notes.

ARTICLE VIII

provided, further, that no such modification may, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes of the affected series Outstanding at the time, alter the respective percentages of Outstanding Notes necessary, pursuant to this Agreement, to modify the terms of the Notes, waive past defaults or accelerate the payment of the principal amount of the Notes.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement hereto, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 8.3. Execution of Amendments or Supplements.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or supplement permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

COVENANTS

SECTION 9.1. Payment of Principal, Interest and Additional Amounts.

The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes (and Additional Amounts, if any) in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement.

SECTION 9.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

So long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain in London an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Agreement may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Fiscal Agent of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Fiscal Agent with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Fiscal Agent’s Office. The Company hereby initially designates the office of the Paying Agent as specified in the Reverse of Note as the office or agency for each such purpose.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in London for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Fiscal Agent of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

With respect to any Global Note, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Note as contemplated by Section 2.5, the Fiscal Agent’s Office shall be the place of payment where such Global Note may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Notes may be delivered in exchange therefor, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Note shall be deemed to have been effected at the place of payment for such Global Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.3. Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a Paying Agent, a sum for value each due date sufficient to pay the principal of or interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Fiscal Agent) the Company will promptly notify the Fiscal Agent in writing of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Fiscal Agent to execute and deliver to the Fiscal Agent an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Fiscal Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, (2) give the Fiscal Agent prompt written notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal or interest on the Notes and (3) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Fiscal Agent, forthwith pay to the Fiscal Agent all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Fiscal Agent all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Fiscal Agent upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Fiscal Agent, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest or Additional Amounts (if applicable) on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years

after such principal, interest or Additional Amounts have become due and payable and paid to the Fiscal Agent shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, be paid by the Fiscal Agent or such Paying Agent to the Company and, to the extent permitted by law, the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Fiscal Agent or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 9.4. Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Company shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent, reasonably promptly after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of (i) any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse or time or both, would constitute an Event of Default or (ii) any default in the performance by the Company of any obligation under the Notes or this Agreement, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company will deliver to the Fiscal Agent, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof or within 10 Business Days of any request by the Fiscal Agent, an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions under this Agreement (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and if the Company shall be in default specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which the signer may have knowledge. As of the date hereof, the fiscal year of the Company ends on March 31 of each calendar year.

SECTION 9.5. Additional Amounts.

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the authority. In such event, the Company shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by the Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Notes under any of the following circumstances:

(i) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Notes by reason of its (A) having some present or former connection with Japan other than the mere holding of such Notes or (B) being a person having a special relationship with the Company (a “specially-related person of the Company”) as described in Article 6, paragraph (4) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (together with the cabinet order thereunder (Cabinet Order No. 43 of 1957, as amended), the “Act on Special Taxation Measures”);

(ii) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information (as defined below) or to submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption (as defined below) to the relevant Paying Agent to whom the relevant Notes are presented (where presentation is required), or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the relevant Participant (as defined below) and the relevant international clearing organization to such Paying Agent;

(iii) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined below) that complies with the requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to

submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption and (B) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies (directly, through the Participant or otherwise) the relevant Paying Agent of its status as not being subject to Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Company by reason of receipt by such individual resident of Japan or Japanese corporation of interest on such Notes through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it);

(iv) the Note is presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the day on which such payment on the Notes became due or after the full payment was provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

(v) the withholding or deduction is imposed on a Holder or beneficial owner that could have avoided such withholding or deduction by presenting its Notes (where presentation is required) to another Paying Agent maintained by the Company;

(vi) the Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or is not the solebeneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Note, and Japanese law requires the payment to be included for tax purposes in the income of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner, in each case, who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of such Note; or

(vii) any combination of (i) through (vi) above.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company, the Fiscal Agent, any Paying Agent or any other person shall be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed on or in respect of any Note pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commonly referred to as FATCA, any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance implementing FATCA, or any agreement between the Company, the Fiscal Agent, a Paying Agent or any other person and the United States, any other jurisdiction, or any authority of any of the foregoing implementing FATCA.

Where the Notes are held through a participant of an international clearing organization or a financial intermediary (each, within this Section 9.5, referred to as a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of the Notes is (a) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Company) or (b) a Japanese financial institution (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Taxation Measures, all in accordance with the Act on Special Taxation Measures, such beneficial owner of the Notes must, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of the relevant Notes, provide certain information prescribed by the Act on Special Taxation Measures (“Interest Recipient Information”) to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted, and advise the Participant if the beneficial owner of the Notes ceases to be so exempted (including the case where a beneficial owner of the Notes that is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation becomes a specially-related person of the Company).

Where Notes are not held by a Participant, in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of the Notes is (a) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Company) or (b) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act on Special Taxation Measures, such beneficial owner must, prior to each time at which it receives interest, submit to the relevant Paying Agent a written application for tax exemption (hikazei tekiyo shinkokusho) (“Written Application for Tax Exemption”) in a form obtainable from the Paying Agent stating, inter alia, the name and address of the beneficial owner, the title of the Notes, the relevant Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest and the fact

that the beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Written Application for Tax Exemption, together with documentary evidence regarding its identity and residence.

The Company shall make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount withheld or deducted to the Japanese taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge so withheld or deducted from the Japanese taxing authority imposing such tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge, and if certified copies are not available, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain other evidence satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent, and the Fiscal Agent shall make such certified copies or other evidence available to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes upon reasonable request to the Fiscal Agent.

The obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges shall not apply to (A) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge or (B) any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments of principal or interest on the Notes; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Notes and in this Agreement, the Company will pay all stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by Japan, the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein, with respect to this Agreement or as a consequence of the initial issuance, execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of the Notes.

References to principal or interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts due which may be payable as set forth in the Notes and this Agreement.

SECTION 9.6. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Fiscal Agent.

The 2020 Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option and sole discretion of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date with respect to the 2020 Notes, October 21, 2022 (the “2022 Par Call Date”) with respect to the 2022 Notes, August 21, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”) with respect to the 2026 Notes and August 21, 2030 (the “2030 Par Call Date”) with respect to the 2030 Notes, in each case, upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of redemption to the Fiscal Agent and the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall conform, as applicable, to the additional notice requirements set forth in Section 10.5), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; or

(b) the sum of the present values of the principal and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes being redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would be due if such Notes were (a) held to the maturity date with respect to the 2020 notes or (b) redeemed on the applicable par

call date, in each case discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2020 Notes, 25 basis points in the case of the 2022 Notes, 35 basis points in the case of the 2026 Notes and 40 basis points in the case of the 2030 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The 2022 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option and sole discretion of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the 2022 Par Call Date with respect to the 2022 Notes, the 2026 Par Call Date with respect to the 2026 Notes, and the 2030 Par Call Date with respect to the 2030 Notes, in each case upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of redemption to the Fiscal Agent and the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall conform, as applicable, to the additional notice requirements set forth in Section 10.5), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes represented by global notes, in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream), based on the then outstanding principal amount of each Note, provided, however, that if any such pro-rated redemption would result in any Notes having an authorized principal amount of less than the minimum authorized denomination, all such Notes shall be redeemed in full prior to the redemption of any other Notes, except as may be provided in the form of Note or in any amendment or supplement hereto. For all purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of the Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 10.2. Optional Redemption due to an Additional Amounts Event.

Each series of the Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option and sole discretion of the Company in whole, but not in part, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of redemption to the Fiscal Agent and the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall conform, as applicable, to the additional notice requirements set forth in Section 10.5) at the principal amount of the Notes together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts thereon, if the Company has been or will be obliged to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to such series as a result of (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Japan or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of the issuance of the Notes or (b) after the completion of any Succession Event, any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the jurisdiction of the Successor Person or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of such Succession Event, and in either case such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the Successor Person through the taking of reasonable measures available to the Company or the Successor Person, as the case may be (an “Additional Amounts Event”). No notice of redemption for an Additional Amounts Event pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be given sooner than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would actually be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts on payments with respect to the Notes.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 10.2, the Company shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent (i) a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer stating that the conditions precedent to its right to so redeem have been fulfilled and (ii) an opinion of independent legal advisors of recognized standing confirming that an Additional Amounts Event has occurred. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

SECTION 10.3. Special Mandatory Redemption.

If (i) the Shire Acquisition has not been consummated on or prior to the Long Stop Date or (ii) the Company otherwise publicly announces that the Shire Acquisition will not be consummated, then the Company will be required to redeem all outstanding Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Dates in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement.

The Company will cause the notice of special mandatory redemption to be transmitted, with a copy to the Fiscal Agent, within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering the special mandatory redemption to each Holder at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the outstanding notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such date) are deposited with the Fiscal Agent or a paying agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the outstanding Notes will cease to bear interest.

Upon the consummation of the Shire Acquisition, the foregoing provisions regarding the special mandatory redemption will cease to apply.

SECTION 10.4. Election to Redeem; Notice to Fiscal Agent.

The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by a Company Order and an Officer’s Certificate, both given to the Fiscal Agent.

SECTION 10.5. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given transmitted not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date for redemption (“Redemption Date”), to the Fiscal Agent and to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his address appearing in the Notes Register. If by reason of any cause, it shall be impracticable to give notice to the Holder in the manner prescribed herein, then such notification in lieu thereof as shall be made by the Company or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of and at the instruction of the Company (as set forth below) shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such notification shall, so far as may be practicable, approximate the terms and conditions of the notice in lieu of which it is given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice of redemption given to the Holder of any other Note shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to this Note.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

(2) the redemption price and the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Redemption Date,

(3) the ISIN and Common Code or other identifying number of the Notes,

(4) that on the Redemption Date, the redemption price (together with any accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Redemption Date) will become due and payable upon each such Notes to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and

(5) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, and accrued interest, if any.

Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request by the Fiscal Agent in the name and at the expense of the Company (provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Fiscal Agent, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be given to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Fiscal Agent), a Company Request requesting that the Fiscal Agent give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph) and shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 10.6. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Fiscal Agent or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 10.7. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price applicable thereto, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose payment date is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to their terms.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the terms of the Note.

SECTION 10.8. Repurchase of Notes.

The Company or any subsidiary thereof may, at any time, purchase the Notes for cancellation in the open market or otherwise at any price.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Calculation Agent has received written notice thereof and such notice references the Floating Rate Notes and this Agreement.

(c) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be liable for any action taken in accordance with the instructions of the Company in the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on its part.

liable to any party for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, inter alia, loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) even if advised of the likelihood of such loss on damages and regardless of the form of action. The provisions of this Section 11.04(d) shall survive the termination and discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent.

(e) In no event shall the Calculation Agent 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, existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Calculation Agent shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(f) The Calculation Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document (except those issued by the Calculation Agent), but the Calculation Agent, in its discretion, may make such reasonable further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, at the cost of the Company, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Calculation Agent may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 11.04 to compensate and indemnify the Calculation Agent and to pay or reimburse the Calculation Agent for expenses shall survive the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent and the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement.

(j) None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Calculation Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless it is indemnified and/or secured to its reasonable satisfaction.

SECTION 11.5. Resignation and Removal.

The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall never be earlier than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing. The Calculation Agent may be removed at any

time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent. If within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company, with prior notice to the Company, appoint its own successor or the resigning Calculation Agent or the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent. If at any time the Calculation Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Calculation Agent shall be taken under the control of any State or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason, then a successor Calculation Agent shall as soon as practicable be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing filed with the predecessor Calculation Agent, the successor Calculation Agent and the Fiscal Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Company of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including properly incurred counsel fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor, the Company and the Fiscal Agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

Common Code ●²⁸

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to MUFG Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, the principal amount set forth above on ●²⁹. The Company will make interest payments on the Notes on each February 21, May 21, August 21 and November 21 of each year, with the first interest payment being made on February 21, 2019. The Company will make interest payments to the person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the day falling one clearing system business day prior to the respective interest payment date.

The per annum interest rate on the Notes in effect for each day of a Floating Rate Interest Period (as defined below) will be equal to the Applicable EURIBOR Rate plus ●³⁰ basis points (the “Floating Interest Rate”), provided, however, that in no event shall the interest rate be less than zero. The Floating Interest Rate for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be set on February 21, May 21, August 21 and November 21 of each year, and will be set for the initial Floating Rate Interest Period on November 21, 2018 (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Reset Date”) until the principal on the Notes is paid or made available for payment (the “Floating Rate Principal Payment Date”). If any Floating Rate Interest Reset Date (other than the initial Floating Rate Interest Reset Date occurring on February 21, 2019) and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a EURIBOR Business Day, such Floating Rate Interest Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding EURIBOR Business Day, unless the next succeeding EURIBOR Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding EURIBOR Business Day.

“Floating Rate Interest Period” shall mean the period from and including a Floating Rate Interest Reset Date to but excluding the next succeeding Floating Rate Interest Reset Date and, in the case of the last such period, from and including the Floating Rate Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the maturity date or Floating Rate Principal Payment Date, as the case may be, to but not including such maturity date or Floating Rate Principal Payment Date, as the case may be. If the Floating Rate Principal Payment Date or maturity date is not a EURIBOR Business Day, then the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be paid on the next succeeding EURIBOR Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the maturity date, Floating Rate Principal Payment Date or any day thereafter.

A-3-3

The “Applicable EURIBOR Rate” shall mean the rate determined in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) Two prior TARGET days on which dealings in deposits in euros are transacted in the euro-zone interbank market preceding each Floating Rate Interest Reset Date (each such date, an “Interest Determination Date”), MUFG Bank, Ltd. (the “Calculation Agent”), as agent for the Company, will determine the Applicable EURIBOR Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in euro having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date. “Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “EURIBOR01” on Reuters (or such other page as may replace the EURIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying euro-zone interbank offered rates for euro-denominated deposits of major banks). If the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate will be determined as described in (2) below.

(2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the Applicable EURIBOR Rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as specified in (1) above, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in euro are offered by four major banks in the euro-zone interbank market selected by the Company (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Company will request the principal euro-zone office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in the euro-zone selected by the Company at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in euro to leading European banks, having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant Floating Interest Rate for the Floating Rate Interest Period commencing on the Floating Rate Interest Reset Date following such Interest Determination Date will be the Floating Interest Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date (i.e., the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Reset Date).

(3) If the Applicable EURIBOR Rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period has ceased to be published on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as a result of the Applicable EURIBOR Rate ceasing to be calculated or administered and a suitable substitute reference rate is available which either is officially announced as successor to the Applicable EURIBOR Rate or, failing that, in our opinion after consultation with an independent financial adviser appointed by the Company, comes as close as possible to the composition of the existing Applicable EURIBOR Rate and is not prejudicial to the holders of the floating rate notes, the existing Applicable EURIBOR Rate will be replaced for the remaining term to maturity of the Notes by this substitute reference rate and such substitute reference rate shall be the Applicable EURIBOR Rate in relation to the Notes for all future Floating Rate Interest Periods. A precondition for this is that, in accordance with Article 29(1) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011

A-3-4

of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds (the “Benchmark Regulation”), the substitute reference rate (x) will be provided by an administrator located in the European Union and which will be included in the register as referred to in Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation or (y) will be provided by an administrator located in a third country for use in the European Union and the substitute reference rate as well as the administrator will be included in the register as referred to in Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation. If no suitable substitute reference rate is officially announced as successor to the Applicable EURIBOR Rate or if the Company is unable or unwilling to determine the substitute reference rate prior to the Interest Determination Date relating to the next succeeding Floating Rate Interest Period in accordance with this paragraph, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate applicable to such Floating Rate Interest Period shall be equal to the offered quotation on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, as described above, on the last day preceding the Interest Determination Date on which such offered quotation was displayed, all as determined by the Calculation Agent.

The amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period divided by 360 (known as the “Actual/360” day count).

The Floating Interest Rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent, rounding the amount of interest to the nearest sub-unit, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards. Interest will be calculated per €1,000 in principal amount of the Notes. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the Notes, provide the interest rate at the time of the last interest payment date with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the holders of the Notes. So long as the Applicable EURIBOR Rate is required to be determined with respect to the Notes, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent. In the event that any then acting Calculation Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Calculation Agent shall fail duly to establish the Applicable EURIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, or that the Company proposes to remove such Calculation Agent, the Company shall appoint itself or another person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the Calculation Agent.

This Note will be the Company’s direct, unsecured and unsubordinated general obligation and will have the same rank in liquidation as all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

A-3-5

This Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been manually signed by the Fiscal Agent for authentication.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
