In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate as of the close of business on the second Business Day before the relevant payment date, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
12
Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations
Section 2.12. Global Notes. The Notes shall initially be issued in global form. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, shall be the initial Common Depositary for the Notes. The fourth to last paragraph of Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. The Notes shall be transferred only in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture. With respect to the Notes, the first sentence of the seventh paragraph of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“A Security in global form will be exchangeable for certificated Securities of the same series in definitive form only if (i) the Depositary for the Global Securities of such series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global Securities of such series or such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto if so required by applicable law or regulation and, in either case, a successor Depositary for such Securities shall not have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, as the case may be, or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, determines that such Securities in global form shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities and executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Securities shall be so exchangeable. In such event, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series of like tenor and terms, shall authenticate and deliver, without charge, to each Person that is identified by or on behalf of the ICSDs as the beneficial holder thereof, Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in certificated form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in global form in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by an ICSD or any participant or indirect participant in an ICSD in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes and each of those Persons may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the ICSD for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the certificated Notes to be issued.”
Section 2.13. Form of Notes. The form of the global Security representing the Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Section 2.14. Defeasance. For purposes of the Notes, Section 2.08 of this Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be considered an additional covenant specified pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture for purposes of Section 4.5 of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.15. Events of Default. The Events of Default set forth in Sections 5.1 (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to redemption in Section 5.1 (2) of the Base Indenture includes the special mandatory redemption referred to in Section 2.07 hereof.
Section 2.16. Paying Agent. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, shall be the initial Paying Agent for the Notes. The Company may subsequently appoint a different or additional Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section 2.17. Payment of Additional Amounts. All payments in respect of the Notes shall be made by or on behalf of the Company 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 the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein (collectively, “Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Company shall pay to each beneficial owner who is not a United States Person (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) on such Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent or a withholding agent of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Notes, after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction on such Additional Amounts), will not be less than the amount provided in such Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:
(a) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the beneficial owner, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner if the beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:
(i) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;
(ii) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of such Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;
(iii) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a foreign personal holding company that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;
14
(iv) being or having been a “10-percent shareholder’’ of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code, or any successor provision; or;
(v) being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;
(b) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of such Notes, or a portion of such Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of any Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
(c) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to comply with any applicable certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such Taxes;
(d) to any Tax that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or the Paying Agent from the payment;
(e) to any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union;
(f) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(g) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar Taxes;
(h) to any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(i) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and related Treasury regulations and pronouncements or any successor provisions thereto (that are substantially comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any regulations or official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or
15
(j) in the case of any combination of items (a) through (i) above.
The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to such Notes. Except as specifically provided in this Section 2.17, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for the determination, verification or calculation of any Additional Amounts. The Company shall give prompt notice to the Trustee upon becoming aware of its requirement to pay any Additional Amount.
As used in this Section 2.17 and in Section 2.06(d) hereof, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia and any political subdivision thereof), and the term “United States Person” means (a) any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of source; or (d) a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of the trust and one or more other United States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust. Except as provided for in Section 2.11, any payments of Additional Amounts will be made in euros.
Whenever in the Indenture (including the Notes) there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or any other amount payable thereunder or with respect thereto, such reference will be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 2.17 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. The Additional Amounts as defined above shall constitute “Additional Amounts” for purposes of the Base Indenture.

Interest on this Security will accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from, and including, May 21, 2019, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the date on which the principal hereof has been paid or made available for payment, as the case may be. The Regular Record Date corresponding to any Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding May 6 (whether or not a Business Day). Interest shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention.

10. UNCLAIMED MONEY. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request, and thereafter Holders entitled to the money shall, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Securities of the same series as this Security, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Outstanding Securities of that series shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or act by the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities or any other party.
