ARTICLE II ESTABLISHMENT OF SECURITIES The following provisions of this Article II are made pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Original Indenture in order to establish and set forth the terms of the series of Securities described in Section 2.1.

SECTION 2.1. TITLE OF SECURITIES

There is hereby established a series of Securities designated the “Floating Rate Notes due 2019” (the “Notes”).

SECTION 2.2. AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES

There are initially to be authenticated and delivered €300,000,000 principal amount of the Notes. Such principal amount of the Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture. All Notes of this series need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, for issuances of additional Notes of such series. Any such additional Notes will rank equally with such series of Notes in all respects (other than the public offering price of such additional notes, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Notes and/or the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Notes) as the series of Notes initially issued hereunder. Any such additional Notes, together with the series of Notes initially issued hereunder, may be consolidated to form a single series of Securities under the Indenture and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes initially issued hereunder; provided, however, that if such additional Notes are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Notes issued hereby, such additional Notes shall be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN and/or any other identifying number. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or Guarantor or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the circumstances contemplated by Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.5 of the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in registered form without coupons and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. The form of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for the Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in the form of Note attached hereto. The Notes shall be dated the date of authentication thereof. The Notes will initially be represented by one or more - 8 - Exhibit 4.2 fully registered Global Securities. Each such Global Security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a common safekeeper, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common safekeeper for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. The Notes shall not be issuable in definitive form except under the limited circumstances specified in Section 3.7 of the Indenture. The Company will hold at its registered office a register of the Notes in which Clearstream and Euroclear will be recorded as holder.

SECTION 2.3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS ON THE NOTES

(a)    The Notes will mature, and all then outstanding principal thereof shall be due and payable, on the Floating Rate Maturity Date. (b)    The Notes shall bear interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum in effect for each day of a Floating Rate Interest Period equal to the Applicable EURIBOR Rate from time to time in effect for each applicable Floating Rate Interest Period plus thirty (30) basis points (0.30%); provided, however, that the minimum interest rate for the Notes shall be no less than 0.00% per annum (the “Floating Interest Rate”). Accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes shall be payable on each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. The Notes will bear interest at the applicable Floating Interest Rate 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 September 11, 2017) and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a EURIBOR Business Day, such Floating Rate Interest Reset Date or Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, as applicable, 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. The amount of interest for each day that the Notes are outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the Floating Interest Rate then in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Notes (known as the “Actual/360” day count). The amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such Floating Rate Interest Period. The Floating Interest Rate from time to time in effect for the Notes and amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any Holder of the Notes, provide the Floating Interest Rate at the time of the last Floating Rate 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 Floating Rate 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. - 9 - Exhibit 4.2 Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of the Notes. (c)    All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of the Notes, shall be payable in Euros. The Company will make interest payments to the person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the EURIBOR Business Day preceding the respective Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. Payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, (i) may be made at the Company’s option by wire transfer or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register and (ii) in the case of any Global Security, must be made by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. So long as the beneficial owner of the Notes is a common safekeeper of Euroclear and Clearstream or their nominee, payment of principal and interest shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream. If, on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Euro is unavailable to the Company (or the Guarantor, in the case of payments under the guaranty hereunder) due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s (or the Guarantor’s, in the case of payments under the guaranty hereunder) 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 Notes will be made in U.S. Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company (or the Guarantor, as applicable) or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euros will be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for Euros. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, nor the Calculation Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. (d)    The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay to a holder of beneficial interests in any Note, as additional interest, such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that every net payment by the Company or a Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on such Note and any other amounts payable on such Note after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed or levied by the Relevant Jurisdiction will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note to be then due and payable under the Notes. The obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: (i)    to any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for: (A)    the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or the holder of beneficial interests in the Notes for whose benefit such Holder holds such Notes (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder, if the Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership, a limited liability company or a corporation) and the Relevant Jurisdiction and its possessions, including, without - 10 - Exhibit 4.2 limitation, the holder of beneficial interests in the Notes (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident of the Relevant Jurisdiction or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present in the Relevant Jurisdiction or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the Relevant Jurisdiction, or (B)    the presentation by the holder of beneficial interests in any 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; (ii)    to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (iii)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of any Note; (iv)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the beneficial owner of any Notes, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Relevant Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (v)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote or as the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiary; (vi)    to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be made pursuant to the Luxembourg law dated December 23, 2005; (vii)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the original issue date of the Notes (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; (viii)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being or having been a “personal holding company,” a “passive foreign investment company” or a “controlled foreign corporation,” each as defined under the Code, that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;      - 11 - Exhibit 4.2 (ix)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed or withheld but for the beneficial owner being a bank (i) receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, (ii) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (iii) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Notes for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only; (x)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 30 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (xi)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other payment agent; or (xii)    in the case of any combination of items (i) through (xi) above.

(a)    Optional Redemption.     Except to the extent and under the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b) below, the Company may not redeem the Notes in whole or in part prior to the Floating Rate Maturity Date. (b)    Redemption for Tax Reasons. The Company may redeem the Notes as a whole but not in part, at the Company’s option at any time prior to the Floating Rate Maturity Date, upon the giving of a notice of tax redemption to the Holders of Notes, if the Company determines that, as a result of: (i) any change in or amendment to the laws, or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or (ii) any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of the laws, regulations or rulings referred to in the foregoing clause (i), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), which change or amendment becomes - 12 - Exhibit 4.2 effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the original issue date of the Notes, the Company is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes provided the Company, in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to the Company. The Redemption Price for tax redemptions under this Section 2.5(b) will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Redemption Date and the applicable Redemption Price will be specified in the notice of tax redemption, which will be given by the Company by first-class mail, to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its current address appearing in the Security Register, with a copy to the Trustee, 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 Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were actually due on such date and, at the time such notice of tax redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to giving the notice of a tax redemption, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Paying Agent, a certificate signed by a duly authorized Officer of the Company, which the Trustee and Paying Agent may rely upon conclusively, stating that (i) the Company is entitled to effect the tax redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right to so redeem have occurred; and (ii) the Company has received an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing to the same effect based on the statement of facts. (c)    Redemption Generally. The Redemption Prices of Notes to be redeemed will be calculated on the “Actual/360 Day” count. Except as otherwise provided in the foregoing clause (b), notice of redemption of the Notes will be given as provided in Section 4.4 of the Indenture or otherwise transmitted in accordance with applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption. The Company will deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes to be redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Original Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 2.5, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €100,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes as set forth in this Section 2.6 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. - 13 - Exhibit 4.2 Within 30 days following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first-class mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes at its registered address, 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 repurchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).

Holders of Notes electing to have Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer the Holder’s Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes 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 if it had been made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default resulting from failure to pay the Change of Control Payment. The Company shall comply 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 Notes 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 Notes, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.
