The Company shall cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under the Indenture upon their purchase.

Section 3.04. No Sinking Fund. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund.

(b) The date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice of tax redemption, which will be given in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture not earlier than 90 days prior to, and not later than 90 days after, the earliest date on which the Company, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were actually due on such date and, at the time such notification of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

(c) Prior to giving the notice of a tax redemption, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and an Opinion of Counsel to that effect based on the statement of facts.

(6) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;

(7) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(8) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;

(9) on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

(10) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(11) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued (provided that no Note in an unauthorized denomination may remain outstanding after any repurchase); and

(d) On the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The paying agent will disburse to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder, a new Note (or beneficial interest in a Global Security) equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered.

(e) The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

(f) The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(c) Except in the case of any lien granted under the Credit Facilities (as to which no exceptions to the restrictions on Liens and the obligation to equally and ratably secure the Notes set forth in this Section 5.01(a) and (b) apply), the restriction on Liens on property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary contained above will also not apply to the creation, incurrence or assumption by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions under this Section 5.01 if the aggregate principal amount

(b) Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture shall be amended with respect to the Notes by replacing the first two paragraphs of such section with the following:

“If an Event of Default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to the Company (but not any Significant Subsidiary of the Company), occurs and is continuing under the Indenture with respect to any Notes, then, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately due and payable.

PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

Section 6.01. Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Any amounts paid, or caused to be paid, by the Company or any of its successors pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture will be paid without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future

taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges (“Taxes”) whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or on behalf of Singapore, including any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, or the jurisdiction of incorporation or residence of any successor, or any Subsidiary, branch, division or other entity through which the Company may from time to time direct any payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (an “Other Jurisdiction”). If deduction or withholding of any Taxes shall at any time be required by Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, the Company or any relevant successor will, subject to timely compliance by the Holders or beneficial owners of the relevant Notes with any relevant administrative requirements, notify the Trustee and pay or cause to be paid such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in respect of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holders of the Notes outstanding on the date of the required payment or the Trustee as the case may be, pursuant to the Indenture, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the respective amounts that the Holder would have received if the Taxes had not been withheld or deducted.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Additional Amounts shall be paid to any Holder or beneficial owner for or on account of any of the following:

(i) any present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that the Holder or beneficial owner of the relevant Note has or had some connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, including that the Holder or beneficial owner is or has been a domiciliary, national or resident of, engages or has been engaged in a trade or business, is or has been organized under, maintains or has maintained an office, a branch subject to taxation, or a permanent establishment, or is or has been physically present in Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, or otherwise has or has had some connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction, other than solely the holding or ownership of a Note, or the collection of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or the enforcement of, a Note;

(ii) any present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that, where presentation is required, the relevant Note was presented more than 30 days after the date such payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later;

(iii) any present or future taxes which are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding on or in respect of the relevant Note;

(iv) any present or future Taxes which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the failure to comply, on a sufficiently timely basis, with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Singapore or any Other Jurisdiction of the Holder or beneficial owner of the relevant Note, if such compliance is required by a statute or regulation or administrative practice of Singapore, the Other Jurisdiction or any other relevant jurisdiction, or by a relevant treaty, as a condition to relief or exemption from such taxes;

(v) any present or future Taxes (A) which would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected if the beneficial owner of the relevant Note had been the Holder of such Note, or (B) which, if the beneficial owner of such Note had held the Note as the Holder of such Note, would have been excluded pursuant to any one or combination of clauses (i) through (iv) above;

(vi) any capital gain, estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

(vii) any combination of the above.

The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on June 15, 2029.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 4.875% per annum (subject to adjustment as provided below).

Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15 (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date), commencing December 15, 2019.

The Company must also pay certain Additional Amounts as specified in the Indenture upon a “Change in Tax Law” as defined in the Indenture.

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Company will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest at a rate per annum of 4.875%. Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Company or the Trustee for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before a special record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

2. Indenture.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $450,000,000, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class.

3. Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note.

Other than as set forth below, if an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

6. Amendment and Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount

A-6

of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.
