The Company and the Co-Issuer desire to enter into this Tenth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Sections 9.01 and 2.02 of the Base Indenture to establish the terms of the Offered Securities, to add the Co-Issuer as co-issuer of the Offered Securities and to establish the form of the Offered Securities.

F. All things necessary to make this Tenth Supplemental Indenture a valid indenture and agreement according to its terms have been done.

ARTICLE I.

Section 1.01 Definitions of Terms.

(a) Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Tenth Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture.

(b) As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings with respect to the Offered Securities only:

“Authentication Order” means a written order signed in the name of each of the Issuers by an Officer of each of the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, or, with respect to Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, and 9.04 of the Base Indenture, any other employee of such Issuer named in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Offered Securities cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Issuers of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings downgrade or withdrawal). However, a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in, or withdrawal of, rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect

of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in, or withdrawal of, rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Issuers’ request that the reduction or withdrawal was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Offered Securities at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Offered Securities will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Global Security” means an Offered Security executed by the Issuers and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction, all in accordance with the Indenture, which shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Issuers under the circumstances permitting the Issuers to select a replacement rating agency and in the manner for selecting a replacement rating agency, in each case as set forth in the definition of “Rating Agency.”

“Offered Securities” means the €800,000,000 4.250% Senior Notes due 2035 issued pursuant to this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

“Officer” means any manager, director, any managing director, the chairman or any vice chairman of the Board of Directors or a board of managers, as applicable, the chief executive officer, the president, the chief financial officer, any vice president, the treasurer, any assistant treasurer, the secretary or any assistant secretary, or any equivalent of the foregoing, of the Company or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, or any Person duly authorized to act for or on behalf of the Company or the Co-Issuer, as applicable.

“Opinion of Counsel” means a written opinion acceptable to the Trustee from legal counsel licensed in any State of the United States of America and applying the laws of such State.

Each such opinion shall include the statements provided for in Section 13.06 of the Base Indenture, if and to the extent required by the provisions thereof.

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided that, if any of Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, the Issuers may appoint another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act as a replacement for such Rating Agency; provided, further, that the Issuers shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee.

“Reference Bond” means, in relation to any Treasury Rate calculation, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Offered Securities, or if the Issuers or an independent investment bank appointed by the Issuers considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as the Issuers or an independent investment bank appointed by the Issuers, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuers or an independent investment bank appointed by the Issuers, determine to be appropriate for determining the Treasury Rate.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Offered Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Offered Security that would be due after the related redemption date but for the redemption. If that redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Offered Security will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Offered Security to the redemption date.

(8) Optional Redemption –Offered Securities.

Prior to February 23, 2035 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuers may, at their option, redeem the Offered Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination of €100,000), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Offered Securities to be redeemed, and

in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuers may, at their option, redeem the Offered Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination of €100,000), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Offered Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

In addition, the Offered Securities may be redeemed pursuant to Section 1.02(27) of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture (which supersedes and replaces Article XIV of the Base Indenture which shall not apply to the Offered Securities).

If, on or after May 16, 2023, the Euro is unavailable to the Issuers due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuers’ control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Offered Securities will be made in Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Issuers or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euros will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent Dollar/Euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Offered Securities so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Offered Securities or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

(17) Solely with respect to the application of such provisions to the Offered Securities, Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 and 4.08 of the Base Indenture are hereby replaced and superseded by the following provisions:

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Issuers will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Offered Securities at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to the Offered Securities.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

So long as the Offered Securities remain Outstanding, the Issuers will maintain an office or agency where the Offered Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where the Offered Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Offered Securities and this Indenture may be given or served. Such designation will continue with respect to each office or agency until the Issuers, by written notice signed by any Officer of each of the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee, shall designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Issuers initially designate the office of U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, acting as the Issuers’ agent, located at 1555 North RiverCenter Drive, Suite 203, Milwaukee, WI 53212, as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose.

Section 4.03 Paying Agents, Transfer Agent and Security Registrar.

(a) The Issuers will maintain one or more paying agents for the Offered Securities.

(b) In addition the Issuers will maintain a transfer agent and a registrar (the “Security Registrar”) for the Offered Securities. The Security Registrar will maintain the Security Register, and together with the transfer agent, will make payments on and facilitate transfers of the Offered Securities on behalf of the Issuers.

(c) The Issuers may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent. Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. The Issuers may remove any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as applicable, upon written notice to such paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as applicable, and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until, if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee.

(d) The Issuers may change or appoint any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent with respect to the Offered Securities without prior notice to the Holders of the Offered Securities. The Issuers or any of the Issuers’ Subsidiaries may act as paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar in respect of the Offered Securities.

(e) The Issuers hereby initially appoint Elavon Financial Services DAC (“Elavon”) as Paying Agent with respect to the Offered Securities until such time as Elavon has resigned or a successor has been appointed. Elavon hereby accepts such initial appointment, and the Issuers confirm that such initial appointment is acceptable to them. Elavon shall have all of the rights, privileges, protections and immunities granted to the Trustee in the Indenture mutatis mutandis. Principal of, premium, if any, interest on and additional amounts, if any, on the Offered Securities will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent at Elavon Financial Services Block F1, Cherrywood Business Park Cherrywood, Dublin 18 D18 W2X7, Ireland, until such time as the Issuers designate an alternate place of payment. The Issuers hereby initially appoint the Trustee as Security Registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Offered Securities. The obligations of the Paying Agent, transfer agent and Security Registrar shall be several and not joint.

(f) The Issuers shall require each paying agent (other than an Issuer) to agree in writing that the paying agent will hold for the benefit of Holders of Offered Securities or the Trustee all money held by the paying agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Offered Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. Money held by the paying agent need not be segregated, except as required by law, and in no event shall the paying agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder. If either of the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Issuers acts as paying agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as paying agent.

(g) The Issuers will make payments of any amounts owing in respect of any Global Securities (including principal, premium, if any, interest and any Additional Amounts) to the applicable paying agent, and such paying agent will, in turn, make such payments to the applicable Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be (subject to such paying agent having received cleared funds sufficient to make such payments), as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Offered Securities represented by a Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture. The applicable Depositary will distribute such payments to Participants in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Payments on all Offered Securities other than Global Securities will be made by the Issuers to the applicable paying agent and such paying agent will make payment by check to the address provided by the Holder of such Offered Securities (or by wire transfer to those Holders that have provided wire instructions to the Issuers or the applicable paying agent).

Section 4.04 Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Issuers will furnish to the Trustee on or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Issuers, they would normally have knowledge of any Default by the Issuers in the performance or fulfillment or observance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture during the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such Default and, if so, specifying each such Default of which the signers have knowledge and the nature thereof. The Officer’s Certificate need not comply with Section 13.06 of the Base Indenture.

Section 4.05 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

The Issuers, whenever necessary to avoid or to fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10 of the Base Indenture, a Trustee, so that there shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.08 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the Offered Securities as described under Section 1.02(8) of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, each Holder of Offered Securities will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or a portion (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Offered Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”). If the Change of Control Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the Change of Control Payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Issuers’ option, prior to and conditioned on the occurrence of, any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Issuers will be required to send, by first class mail, or deliver electronically if the Offered Securities are held by any Depositary, a notice to each Holder of Offered Securities, with

a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically (or, in the case of a notice mailed or delivered electronically prior to the date of consummation of a Change of Control, no earlier than the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control), other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed or delivered electronically prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Offered Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the applicable paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Securities properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Securities properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities being repurchased.

The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Offered Securities if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Issuers and such third party purchases all the Offered Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuers will not repurchase Offered Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default in respect of the Offered Securities, other than a Default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Issuers must comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Offered Securities, the Issuers will be required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.08 with respect to the Offered Securities by virtue of any such conflict.

(18) Solely with respect to the application of such provisions to the Offered Securities, Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended as follows:

(i) any reference to the “Company” is hereby amended to refer instead to the “Issuers”; and

(ii) the reference to “$200,000,000” in Section 6.01(a)(4) of the Base Indenture is amended to refer instead to “$300,000,000.”

(21) As modified by this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the Offered Securities may be defeased in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03 of the Base Indenture and the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Offered Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that (a) for purposes of defeasance of the Offered Securities and satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Offered Securities and (b) as otherwise used in Article XI of the Base Indenture with respect to the Offered Securities, the term “Governmental Obligations” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.02(28)(a) of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Solely with respect to the application of such provisions to the Offered Securities, Section 11.03 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended as follows:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Co-Issuer”) will be a corporation, limited liability company, public limited company, limited partnership or other entity organized and existing under the laws of (u) the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (v) Ireland, (w) England and Wales, (x) Jersey, (y) any member state of the European Union as in effect on the date the Offered Securities are first issued or (z) Switzerland; provided that the Successor Co-Issuer (if not the Co-Issuer) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Co-Issuer under the Offered Securities and this Indenture;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Co-Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Successor Co-Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) the Co-Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Co-Issuer may, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Co-Issuer in another jurisdiction within the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, Ireland, England and Wales, Jersey, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the date the Offered Securities are first issued or Switzerland to realize tax or other benefits.

Section 10.02 Successor Company or Successor Co-Issuer Substituted.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor Company or Successor Co-Issuer, as applicable, will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Co-Issuer hereunder, as applicable, and the predecessor issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, other than in the case of a lease, will be automatically released from all obligations under the Offered Securities and this Indenture, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Offered Securities.

(27) Solely with respect to the application of such provisions to the Offered Securities, Article XIV of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced and superseded by the following provisions:

ARTICLE XIV.

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS

Section 14.01 Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes.

Either or both of the Issuers may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities under the following conditions:

(i) if there is an amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any change in the written application or official written interpretation of such laws or regulations, including any action taken by, or a change in published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to either or both of the Issuers, which amendment or change is publicly announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Offered Securities (or, in the case of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date of issuance, after such later date);

(ii) as a result of such amendment or change, either or both of the Issuers become, or there is a material probability that either or both of the Issuers will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next payment date with respect to the Offered Securities, and such Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available (including having the other Issuer make payments on the Offered Securities if such action would be reasonable);

(iii) the relevant Issuer (or Issuers) delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of independent tax counsel to such Issuer (or Issuers) of recognized standing to the effect that such Issuer (or Issuers) has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); in addition, before the Issuer (or Issuers) mails notice of redemption of the Offered Securities as described below, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by such Issuer by taking reasonable measures available (including having the other Issuer make payments on the Offered Securities if such action would be reasonable); and

(iv) following the delivery of the opinion described in the foregoing clause (iii), the relevant Issuer (or Issuers) provides notice of redemption for the Offered Securities not less than 10 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to the redemption date. The notice of redemption cannot be given more than 90 days before the earliest date on which the Issuer (or Issuers) would be otherwise required to pay Additional Amounts, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must still be in effect when the notice is given.

Upon the occurrence of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the relevant Issuer (or Issuers) may redeem the Offered Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and that will become due on such redemption date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is prior to the redemption date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof).

The provisions of this Section 14.01 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Successor Company to the Company or Successor Co-Issuer to the Co-Issuer, as applicable.

Section 14.02 Payment of Additional Amounts.

All payments in respect of the Offered Securities will be made by (or on behalf of) the Issuers free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (including, without limitation, penalties and interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) (“Taxes”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law.

In the event that the Issuers are required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Ireland, Luxembourg or any other jurisdiction (other than the United States of America) in which either of the Issuers is incorporated, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which payments by or on behalf of the Issuers are made, or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein (each, but not including the United States of America or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) from any payment made under or with respect to any Offered Security (including, without limitation, payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium), the Issuers will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) so that the net amount received by each Holder or beneficial owner of Offered Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.

Additional Amounts will not be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of Offered Securities where such Holder or beneficial owner is subject to taxation on such payment by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for or on account of:

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld because such Holder or beneficial owner (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, or member of such Holder or beneficial owner if such Person is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or a Person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder):

(1) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment or other taxable presence in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

(2) has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of the Offered Securities) with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been physically present therein;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Offered Securities;

(c) any Taxes imposed as a result of the presentation of the Offered Securities, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had such Offered Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;

(d) any Taxes imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of such Holder or beneficial owner, upon a written request, made to the Holder or beneficial owner in writing at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be made, by an Issuer, broker or other withholding agent, to timely and accurately comply (to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so) with any applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection of the Holder or beneficial owner with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;

(e) any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Issuers or any paying agent from payments in respect of the Offered Securities;

(f) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the issue date of the Offered Securities (or any amended or successor provisions of such sections that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any law or regulation implemented pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing; or

(g) any combination of Section 14.02(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f).

Additional Amounts also will not be payable for any Taxes that are imposed with respect to any payment on an Offered Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that no Additional Amounts would have been payable had the beneficial owner of the applicable Offered Security been the Holder of such Offered Security.

The Issuers also: (i) will make such withholding or deduction of Taxes; (ii) will remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with all applicable laws; (iii) will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each relevant tax authority imposing such Taxes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld; and (iv) upon request, will make available to the Holders of the Offered Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Issuers (unless, notwithstanding the Issuers’ efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, in which case the Issuers will provide other evidence of payments by the Issuers).

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Offered Securities is due and payable, if the Issuers will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of the Offered Securities on the payment date (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 30 days prior to the relevant payment date, in which case the Issuers may deliver such Officer’s Certificate as promptly as practicable after the date that is 30 days prior to the payment date).

In addition, the Issuers will pay for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, property, excise, transfer, court or documentary or other similar Taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the creation, execution, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Offered Securities or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.

The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive any termination or the discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Successor Company or Successor Co-Issuer.

Whenever in this Indenture or any Offered Securities there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, redemption price, repurchase price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Offered Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent payable in the particular context.

(28) The additional provisions set forth below shall be applicable to the Offered Securities:

(a) For purposes of the Base Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, with respect to the Offered Securities, the term “Governmental Obligations” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the German government or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the German government the payment of which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the German government, the central bank of the German government or a governmental agency of the German government, which, in either case (x)(i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) certificates, depositary receipts or other instruments which evidence a direct ownership interest in obligations described in clause (x)(i) or (x)(ii) above or in any specific principal or interest payments due in respect thereof.

(b) Claims against the Issuers for the payment of principal or Additional Amounts, if any, of the Offered Securities will be prescribed ten years after the applicable due date for payment thereof. Claims against the Issuers for the payment of interest, if any, of the Offered Securities will be prescribed five years after the applicable due date for payment of interest.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, articles 470-1 to 470-19 of the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 relating to commercial companies, as amended, do not apply to the Offered Securities.

(d) The third and fourth sentences of Section 2.05(c) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Offered Securities, and instead the following shall apply:

Each Global Security is exchangeable for Definitive Securities only if (1) the Depositary for such Global Security notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days after receiving that notice; (2) upon request of a Holder of any series of Offered Securities upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Offered Securities; or (3) the Issuers determine that such Global Security will be exchangeable for Definitive Securities and notifies the Trustee of their decision. Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), the provisions of Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture shall no longer apply to the Offered Securities.

(e) The second and third sentences of Section 2.11(a) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Offered Securities, and instead the following shall apply:

The Holder of a Global Security representing an Offered Security shall be the only Person entitled to receive payments in respect of Offered Securities represented by such Global Security, and the Issuers will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the Holder of such Global Security in respect of each amount so paid. After payment to the Depositary (or its nominee) of interest, principal or other amounts in respect of the Offered Securities represented by a Global Security, the Issuers will not have responsibility or liability for the payment of such amounts to Euroclear or Clearstream or to Holders or beneficial owners of book-entry interests in the Offered Securities. Each Person owning a beneficial interest in an Offered Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such Person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a Holder of Offered Securities.

(f) Any notice or communication by the Issuers or the Trustee to the Paying Agent is duly given if in writing and delivered electronically or in person or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the following address:

TYCO FIRE & SECURITY FINANCE S.C.A.

4.250% Senior Notes due 2035

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Johnson Controls International plc, a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), and Tyco Fire & Security Finance S.C.A., a corporate partnership limited by shares (société en commandite par actions) incorporated and organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 28, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 23, 2023 (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and Elavon Financial Services DAC, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). By the terms of the Base Indenture, the Securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Note,” and collectively, the “Notes”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Issuers and the Holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.

1. Interest. The Issuers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at an annual rate of 4.250%. The Issuers will pay interest annually in arrears on May 23 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date to the date of such payment on the next Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or May 23, 2023, if no interest has been paid). Interest on the Notes will be calculated based on the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid (or May 23, 2023, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)).

2. Method of Payment. The Issuers will pay the interest installment on this Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for the Notes to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities hereto) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Note for such interest installment. In the event that this Note or a portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note will be paid upon presentation and surrender of this Note as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of this Note, will be payable in Euros. If, on or after May 16, 2023, the Euro is unavailable to the Issuers due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuers’ control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Offered Securities will be made in Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Issuers or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euros will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent Dollar/Euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Offered Securities so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Offered Securities or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

3. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, Elavon Financial Services DAC will act as paying agent, and the Trustee will act as transfer agent and Security Registrar. The Issuers may change or appoint any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent without prior notice to any Noteholder. The Issuers or any of their subsidiaries may act as paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar in respect of any Notes.

4. Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Issuers and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “4.250% Senior Notes due 2035”, initially limited to €800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

The Issuers will furnish to any Noteholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: Johnson Controls International plc, One Albert Quay, Cork, Ireland T12 X8N6.

5. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be subject to redemption in accordance with the terms of Sections 1.02(8) and 1.02(27) of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture and Article III of the Base Indenture. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided in the Indenture, interest on such Notes or portions of Notes will cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the applicable redemption price and accrued interest (if any) with respect to any such Note or portion thereof. The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

6. Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the Notes by giving irrevocable notice on or prior to the 30th day after the Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with the Indenture, each Holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or a portion (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 1.02(17) of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without interest coupons in the minimum denominations of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. Subject to and in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Base Indenture, the Notes may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Issuers for such purpose.

8. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Trustee, any applicable paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuers nor the Trustee nor any applicable paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

9. [Reserved].

10. [Reserved].

11. Defaults and Remedies.
